- Bad news DODie, you're going to have to do your own reading. Since you
- claim that the terms fetus and gravida go together, show all of us
- some quotes of your own. I've provided plenty that show that the term
- woman is used extensively, and provided a quote which shows how
- gravida is used in the context of medicine.
-
- Personally, I think you'll run away from this one too.
