Punishing descendants is absolutely a part of the bible. Women experiencing pain during childbirth is supposedly a punishment for Eve eating the forbidden fruit.

Shit, if that's the case, I'm surprised Christians haven't tried to outlaw epidurals.

Yeah, she really shouldn't have listen to the snake. Women could have been giving birth like a giraffe: Just standing there, muching on a snack while the baby just falls out.

For some biblical figures really far back, yes, but as a punishment for normal (real) people?

Women are normal (real) people, I believe.

According to the bible, Eva is the literal second human and first woman and IIRC lived for hundreds of years, so no, she's not normal or real.

And she was made of rib

But the millions of women who suffer from pain during birth on her behalf are normal and real.
