New York, NY--Today Good Morning America treated us to a break from nationwide violence and
divisive politics with a feel-good piece: Arnold Schwarzenegger reminiscing
about his landmark documentary film, and how it really set the stage today for
eliminating gender roles in giving birth.
"I remember how the doctors REFUSED to
accept that I wanted to be the one delivering our baby," the former bodybuilder
said intensely, but with his contagious laugh. "I had to keep telling them,
‘It’s not a tumor!’"
The actor and fitness professional-turned-politician also
discussed how proud he was to be one of the first fathers to stop mooching off
mothers when it comes to familial responsibility and caregiving. “In our family,
it’s always been about equality, and that’s sometimes political” Arnold mused.
“But I’m not into politics, I’m into survival.”
