I think that it is weird that a birth of a baby is such a big deal. I understand that it is rare but the ceremony involved with the birth is strange and dramatic. They are all excited but there excitement is tampered by the possibility of having an unbaby.
The word unbaby is a cruel term. Not only do they consider an unbaby to be deformed, but not even human.
When Aunt Lydia showed the porn she commented on how Gilead is much safer for women now because they cannot be raped or used as sex toys. Gilead is no better than the past because the women are still being raped in a sense.
When Moira escaped it was a blow to Gilead because they think their society is perfect in defining one's identity. Moira was able to escape her identify and raises the spirits of the prisoners of Gilead.
Also surprising, was how nice the Commander was.
