[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women who actually CARE about other women's reproductive health and their choices need to care about the narrative of celebrity geriatric pregnancies.

You may think only "mouth breathers" think a woman can easily get pregnant at 44, but many women do, especially impressionable young women who were raised in the "you can have it all" generation that witnessed many, many celebrities having children in their 40s without sharing all the details of how they got that pregnancy.

No one needs to share how their babies were conceived [/quote]

I agree that privacy should be honored, but also, there is a degree of harm when celebrities share the pregnancy but not the years of fertility treatments, purchased eggs, and other medical intervention needed to get pregnant. [b]Statistically speaking, [/b]the vast majority of women who wait to have children until their 40s will be unable to do so without a tremendous amount of expensive and invasive medical intervention. [b]We are creating a generation of women who think they are going to win the lottery.  [/b][/quote]

Most women who have kids in their 40s are not having their FIRST kid in their 40s. They aren't "waiting" until they're 40s to have children. They have a track record of good fertility, which makes it more likely that they can get pregnant in their 40s naturally without intervention. [/quote]
