Yeah -- my pregnancy almost killed me, twice. I am incredibly fortunate that both Kira and I survived and were (relatively) healthy in the end, but it was a very close call. I almost stroked out at one point -- my BP went up to 200-something over 100-something, and they wound up inducing labor early to save our lives.
So, yeah -- that guy can go right straight to hell. Along with all the people who have criticized Mikki for needing an abortion to save her life.
I am reminded of a Tepper novel in which aliens arrived on earth and, wanting to give their offspring the best chance of coming to term without medical interference and being raised by socially prominent individuals in affluent family environments, implanted them in the bodies of a bunch of rich white very-loudly-pro-life male politicians.

Beaten to the Fresco title, but in terms of others: I loved A Plague of Angels, and while I've found Gibbon's Decline and Fall a bit unpolished on rereads it's a book I'm keeping around.
