When a mother has Rh-negative blood and her fetus has Rh-positive (thanks to the father), the baby can actually be allergic to the mother, with health problems ranging from anemia to death.

No doubt she wishes that she had bitten her tongue on an occasion or two. If that is not promotion of a stifling orthodoxy, what...
