A member asked:
When asked if pregnant women can travel to texas, ob said no due to zika. then what happens to women living in texas? they can't get pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sort of correct, but: Women get pregnant in peace and in war, in feast and in famine, so of course they can get pregnant in Zika areas of the world. We know bad stuff happens with Zika, such as permanently brain-damaged babies, so as individuals (and as a community) we have to make smart decisions based on how much risk we want to put on a baby fetus. If living in a Zika area, choices are limited. If not, why risk it?
