Pregnant Pause: “Thou shall not procreate.”

“When babies are out­lawed only out­laws will have babies.”

In the U.S. Army, mar­ried sex is okay, but con­cep­tion is not, at least not while deployed in Iraq. An Army com­man­der, Maj. Gen Tony Cuculo, has issued a gen­eral order, pro­hibit­ing sperm in his sec­tor in Iraq (Multi-​​division north, from comin­gling with enemy eggs in any ovaries under his command.

Already seven U.S. sol­diers, includ­ing three men, have been pun­ished under six-​​week-​​old rules mak­ing preg­nancy a vio­la­tion of mil­i­tary law in north­ern Iraq, accord­ing to a story in Stars and Stripes.

“The mes­sage to my female sol­diers is that I need you for the dura­tion,” Cucolo told Stripes in a phone inter­view late Monday. “Please think before you act.”

Uh.. yeah. So far four women who have become preg­nant have been given let­ters of rep­ri­mand, along with two male sol­diers. One mar­ried guy appar­ently vio­lated the new mil­i­tary order with a sub­or­di­nate who was not his wife. He’s in more trouble.

Its anti-malingering, not anti-woman or anti-mom
