Sounded like an existing British TV series about androids  
gaining sentience and seeking to harm/escape humans who were  
bent on shutting them down.  I think it was "Humans".  Same  
idea.. androids seeking revenge.

The basic idea of "pregant woman escaping society that has  
deemed being naturally pregrant as repugnant and therefore must  
escape" is paramount in a novel that was also made into a film.  
I'll try to dig that one up.

There's no such thing as too much of a good thing, right? :)

Follow the money.
