Becoming a mother cannot help but change things. An author's life is reflected in their writing, whether they want it to be or not, and parenthood is one of the biggest life changes there is.

There are times when parenthood seems nothing more than feeding the hand that bites you.

Parenthood remains the greatest single preserve of the amateur.

I know how sobering and exhausting parenthood is. But the reality is that our children's future depends on us as parents. Because we know that the first years truly last forever.

Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.

Cloning looks like a degrading of parenthood and a perversion of the right relation between parents and children.

Parenthood is not an object of appetite or even desire. It is an object of will. There is no appetite for parenthood; there is only a purpose or intention of parenthood.

It's all about the fungibility and money. If Planned Parenthood accesses hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money and they use that for other purposes, then they can use other dollars to fund abortion.
