   I'm kinda confused by that statement.  Do you mean, "Life is all
about pregnancy"?  Or, do you mean, "If you're pregnant, then that 
is the most important thing in your life"?
     
   If you meant, "Life is all about pregnancy," I'd say that might have
been true in the Middle Ages -- but not today.  Females can have 
children until they're about fourty or fourty-five; does that make 
every female over fourty-five useless?  That kind of philosophy sounds
to me like living in a circle.
    
   If you meant, "If you're pregnant, then that is the most important
thing in your life," that sounds a bit wrong by me, too.  About sixty
percent of all fertilized eggs (it might be higher -- Turtle? Saavik?)
are spontaneously aborted by the woman's body.  Nobody knows why.
