Abstract

Excerpt: When the Democratic party nominated its first mother as a candidate for president, I was laboring toward motherhood. My son, George, was induced on the first day of the Democratic National Convention. When Trump was nominated the week before, despite my typical interest in politics, I spent most of my mental and physical energy that week focusing on a more personal problem: trying to force my body into natural labor.
