Pregnancy demonstrates the deterministic character of woman's sexuality.
Every pregnant woman has body and self taken over by a chthonian force beyond her control.
In the welcome pregnancy, this is a happy sacrifice.
But in the unwanted one, initiated by rape or misadventure, it is a horror.
Such unfortunate women look directly into nature's heart of Darkness.
For a fetus is a benign tumor, a vampire who steals in order to live.
The so-called miracle of birth is nature getting her own way.
( Daniel Goldman )
