Eve, Epidurals, and Evangelicals

Given the evidence that epidurals are effective and that they have no known downside, I favor women having the option to use epidurals to manage labor pain. During the Terri Schiavo incident and the following discussion about society flouting the will of God, it occurred to me that epidurals should be a real problem for anyone who felt God's will was being flouted. Genesis 3:16 says, "To the woman he said, I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children." This is part of Eve's punishment for that incident with the apple. An epidural will surely reduce your pain in childbearing. Well, in most cases at least. So, wouldn't seem that in a strict interpretation sort of way that using one would be directly flouting the will of God? Luckily, I'm not a strict interpretation sort of guy, so my advice is go right ahead and manage the pain. But, if you are a strict interpretationist and you use an epidural, I reserve the right to call you a hypocrite.
