From the pulpit of the presidency, Donald Trump offered some advice to pregnant women: “Tough it out” before taking Tylenol. But equally important — and missing from Trump's message — was that untreated fever or severe pain can also pose serious risks to mothers and babies, she said. There's a long history of men holding forth, sometimes incorrectly, about women's reproductive health. Trump's advice “took me straight back to when moms were blamed for autism,” said Alison Singer, founder of the Autism Science Foundation. Trump offered at least one moment of introspection during his news conference, acknowledging the awkward nature of his directive.
