[edit] connection to fear of children and fear of childbirth

I am copying the following from User talk:Freechild and User talk:Ginkgo100 for discussion here.

I reverted your edit to this article linking to fear of childbirth and fear of children because they seem irrelevant to the article. Then I started wondering if there's a reason you added those links that I have not thought of. What is the connection? --Ginkgo100^talk 21:56, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

There is a correlating evidence in some literature that suggests that the fear of children affects the public's perceptions of pregnancy rights, particularly in the U.S. A book called Somebody Else's Children: The Courts, the Kids, and the Struggle to Save America's Troubled Families by John Hubner and Jill Wolfson discusses this; however, I don't feel their case is supported enough to actually cite them in your article. As an alternative I added the see also section. Accordingly, I also thought there is a logical connection between the fear of childbirth and any discussion of pregnancy rights. – Freechild (¡!¡!¡!¡) 22:04, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I think the connection between fear of children and pregnant women's rights is not obvious, and should therefore only be mentioned with context, not in a "see also" section. Fear of childbirth also seems to need some context, as I am not seeing an obvious connection; perhaps pregnant women suffering from it have a right to receive psychiatric treatment? --Ginkgo100^talk 22:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
