Two similar takes on a recent topic:

"'Pre-pregnant' - what a stupid phrase. By that yardstick, we're all pre-dead." -- [livejournal.com profile] rubian77, 2006-05-16

[Note that this recasts the attitude, "die young, leave a pretty corpse," as simply being prudent pre-emptive postmortem care.]

"There is a bright side in the CDC's announcement: If we're going to regard all females as pre-pregnant, then we can, as my friend Gomez points out, regard all virgins as merely pre-fucked." -- Dan Savage (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] sjo for pointing it out)

yeesh. all that 'pre-pregnant' talk is scaring me. just more ways for the wonderfully sexist world to control women's bodies.

i'm glad i havent been to the doctors in a while. i wouldnt want to experience that kind of talk firsthand.

I guess we could assume everyone is pre-addicted too. (That should give the war on drugs more purpose. Not that I'm ever going to take the war on drugs seriously as long as tobacco production and consumption is legal, as long as vested interests and prejudices have more influence over policy than science and common sense do....)
