[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It’s one of the huge mistakes of today’s society [/b]and I silently shake my head in sad confusion whenever I see a pregnant person in their 40s or late 30s.  It’s  not right. Our bodies know it’s not right, but science makes it possible.  [/quote]

It’s one of the many mistake’s of today’s society. We are living in very unnatural times. [/quote]

Unfortunately, when women were encouraged to marry and have children early, they had very few civil rights. I can’t really imagine how we can change things for women to be supported in having children in their 20’s while still pursuing careers that are equal to men’s careers.

[b]Additionally, a lot of this is due to the fact that MEN don’t want to settle down and have kids in their 20’s, either.[/quote][/b]

People always leave this out. Not a single guy I dated in my 20s wanted to marry and settle down (I didn't either) in their 20s. The only guys I knew who did were traditional or more religious men who normally had ideas about women and their roles that I was far from interested in. Or, they were the super unrealistic impulsive types. Are you supposed to marry those guys, or wait and get married later to the ones you click with but also wanted to enjoy their 20s and work on their careers? I chose the latter.[/quote]
