text: I believe the Gospel did make an appeal to women's health concerns when it showed Jesus healing women: 
  
  (1) the woman with a hemorrhage (fibroids?) -- Mark 5:29, Matthew 9:20, Luke 8:44; 
  (2) the woman with a bent back (osteoporosis or advanced breast cancer?) -- Luke 13:10-17; 
  (3) Jairus daughter (either dead or dying) -- Mark 5:21-43, Matthew 9:18-26, Luke 8:40-56; 
  (4) Peter's mother-in-law (fever) -- Mark 1:30, Matthew 8:14, Luke 4:38; 
  (5) Mary Magdalene (seven 'demons') and Joanna and Susanna -- Luke 8:2 and Mark 16:9;
  (6) Syrophoenician woman's daughter and Canaanite woman's daughter (demon possessed) -- Mark 7, Matthew 15
  
  Then there is the story of Peter's raising of Tabitha (aka Dorcas) -- Acts 9:40.
  
  Also, St. Mary's labor and the labor of the woman in Rev 12 are what produces the Savior, a positive.
