This ended up being a weird pro-life plotline, which wasn't what I expected.

The message seems to be "Even on Mars with no natal care or proper facilities or specialists, a miracle will happen, and the mother and baby will be fine!"

This story could have been an example of when an abortion is needed but not wanted. She wanted the baby but was going to die if she didn't get an abortion. That could have been a tough, emotional plotline but instead indulged in fantasy thinking about how risk free babies and birth are.

I mean she literally has no formula for that baby. Or diapers. Or anything. Is the message that Earth moms are just pampered and babies don't need any special care?

It also was strange that no one was upset about having their lives upended by Kelly's and the cosmonaut's irresponsibility. I mean this is literally the same episode where a guy stares at a picture of his wife and breaks down to suicide because he's stuck on Mars and thinks he will never see her again ... But then everyone decides a risky delay is fine when over half of them have died already and there's no guarantee they'll survive until help arrives. (Also no one asked the Korean if he wanted to stay longer ...)

Just ... Super cheesy with no regard for anyone or anything besides feeling good about Kelly and her baby.
