What a tremendous opportunity you have presented to us at CAPPA Ms. Jillian Michaels. We are blessed with the opportunity that you have presented to us to take your comments in the Women’s Health Magazine as well as, your follow up comments about your health related resistance to carrying a child inside of you, to remind women out there that ladies, you have a Choice. You live in a country that allows you to decide to give birth or not give birth to bring life into this world or to work out your body to optimize your own health and well being or adopt a child that has no one else in the world. You know, the point isn’t what Jillian Michaels said or didn’t say about pregnancy. The point is that having a child should always be not just a choice, but also a truly educated choice. CAPPA’s mission is to create opportunities to educate women to make the most informed decisions possible concerning the choice to give birth, along with the multitude of opportunities available during the first year of birth. If Jillian Michaels doesn’t want to give birth that is her choice, for whatever reason she has. It is still her personal decision. The problem with the outrage here is that Jillian is a public figure and an inspiration to thousands of women. Her website states that she wants to be an inspiration to others, therefore anything said in a public setting like a magazine article is then open to public scrutiny. Those who scrutinize and those who are interviewed like Ms. Michaels all have an equal right to their opinion and a right to speak out. Ms. Michaels we don’t want to criticize your choices. We want to thank you for the opportunity to educate women, girls and mothers everywhere about the choices available to them. We want you to know that you do have a choice how you choose to give birth, how you bond with your child and how you choose to feed your child. You do have a right to be educated about all the wonderful opportunities available to you as mothers. You have the choice to give birth, to be part of the future of our planet, to participate in pro-creation and ladies of the world you have the choice to carry a child inside of you and share your blood with their blood and your breath with their breath your life with their life. You have the choice to push a new life into this world and to push that life to be the best it can be. Each new life can offer you the choice to help that life a part of something bigger than his or her self. Jillian you can make a choice to have the ultimate body. You can choose to inspire those who struggle with weight to choose a healthier life. You can choose to give life or adopt and raise the quality of life for another human being who needs you. Life is all about choices and women who choose to hold life inside their bodies and sacrifice their comfort and their waistline to bring life into this world and women who choose to improve the quality of life for children who need a helping hand are all special. The point here is that the more educated women are in their choices the better the quality of life will be for our newest generation. Life’s choices are ours to make. Jillian make your choices for whatever reason you feel is right for you and mothers to be make your choices based on informed decisions not celebrity statements. Give birth if your body will allow it, because it is the right choice for you and your family. CAPPA is here to help all women when you are ready to educate yourself on best choices for your family and all mothers who wish prepare themselves for the best birth experience for their child.
