Uterus For Sale

I'm consindering selling my uterus on the black market; I don't want it anymore.

Not really, but a hysterectomy is sounding mighty fine. I think I could deal with not being able to have my own kids (childbirth freaks me out), and besides, I've always wanted to adopt. But I hear that having a hysterectomy forces you into early menopause, so that wouldn't be very much fun. I've witnessed the side effects of going through "the change" and I'm not all that jazzed to experience them myself.

My uterus is an eternal antogonist of my life. I only know its around when its causing me unwanted effects, such as excruciating pain and extreme mood swings. Otherwise, it just kind of sits there, much like an appendix.

I understand that after the whole Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit situation, God said that He would make childbirth more difficult for women from that point forward. I get it. What I don't understand is why we have to suffer outside of the actual time of childbirth. And it confuses me that God chose to "punish" Eve for eating the forbidden fruit, when Adam ate of it as well. Eve was just exercising her powers of female persuasion. And must I remind you that it was a male serpant who convinced Eve to take eat of the fruit?

Now I'm rambling. I guess I have no choice but to accept the lot that has been given to me. But I don't have to like it.

Visit http://hersfoundation.org/ to watch the HERS Foundation's "Female Anatomy" video to learn what women report after hysterectomy.

It's your right to know,
