45 year first time moms are generally in much better shape (physically and financially) than 45 year old moms with teenage kids

Modern medicine is very good at helping moms have safe pregnancies. Why do women care so much if a woman has a baby late, but not a man? SO ODD to me!

Why do you think the DCUM Special Needs threads have so many posters?

Look at you out there making the case for 170th tremester abortion.

If a woman goes back to work after having kids people get angry.

Tune it out (which incidentally, also makes people angry).

This can all be shortened to “if a woman, people get angry”

Do an AI search of paternal age or maternal age and special needs children and you can see that both increase the risks. But it also talks about how advances in medicine mean MANY kids of older moms are fine and live healthy lives.

Maternal age AI summary:
Advanced maternal age (typically defined as 35 or older) is associated with an increased risk of having a child with special needs, including Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and intellectual disabilities. While risks for conditions like autism increase by roughly 18% for every five-year increase in maternal age, the overall risk remains relatively small.

NOTE overall risk remains relatively small.

Also mentions that risk is HIGHER in mothers younger than 20, so the PP talking about kids having kids at 15 can go pound sand.

AI summary for paternal age:
Advanced paternal age (generally defined as 40–50+) is associated with an increased risk of having children with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions, most notably autism and schizophrenia, due to accumulation of de novo genetic mutations in sperm. Studies indicate that men in their 40s or 50s are 2 to 6 times more likely to have a child with autism compared to men under 30, with risks increasing incrementally.


Now everyone go talk about something else.

No one said girls at 15 should be having kids. The fact as stated is that most are able biologically to have kids. You can go pound sand for your misinterpretation of a fact.

The presentation of that fact was creepy AF. Stuff it.

Sorry you don't like facts.

Are women so self-centered that they can’t grasp that their offspring have different DNA than they do? The kid is not THEIR body.

For the kid to be allowed to gestate and reside, there should be purely her own. Or do you think people who naturally get pregnant in their 40s should be forced by the state to abort? That’s your pro life angle?

Are some people so self-centered that they think they should have any say in the reproductive choices of other people?

No one ever answers this question.

Feel free to answer the question what you want a 42-year-old who has become pregnant naturally to do with the baby.
