They’re ugly?

Oh, I’m suppose to read the article....

Freeriders Rule!!!

This is not going to devolve into an "I am evil for not having kids thread" is it????

"I shouldn't have to justify myself to anyone," she said.

You don't. Please stop it and go get a life.

in 2004, 44 percent of American women of childbearing ages were childless

Many individual "choices" add up to national suicide.

Sometimes, the gene-pool chlorinates itself...

I don’t care whether or not a woman has kids. If you pushed me, I’d probably lean towards the side of selfishness for not choosing but honestly, I really don’t care.

I do take offense at this statement, thought. “...the reason is that more and more women are becoming educated.” Am I ignorant for having children?

Some people also wonder what will happen to women without a brood when they age.

Since the few who have husbands will generally outlive them, they are more or less guaranteed to die alone.

But parents who have children without the expectation that their children will care for them in their older years can be disappointed.

I'll take care of my folks for as long as they live.

Some parents may not have kids who will do that: life is a gamble.

Those who have no children are guaranteeing that no one will be left to look after them.

A few years from now there will be a ton of childless women in their 80s warehoused in long-term care facilities whose only visitors will be paid caregivers who aren't particularly fluent in English.

"We are a hypocritical society," said Cain. "On one hand, we tell women that they have the right to have an abortion, but we expect them to have children at some point in their lives."

Huh. Must be talking about hypocritical Liberals. She's certainly not describing me.

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!

FREERIDERS UP!

Old stories and fairy tales paint single women without children poorly -- as spinsters or witches.

Or lesbos.

When a woman is approached with the question of why she is are childless, Cain suggests a few responses.

I'm not sure why this situations requires a special response. The standard sanctions applied in response to rude behavior ought to serve adequately.

'Cuz Lord knows that society could not exist without the extraordinary accomplishments of childless women in their 50's!

They single-handedly support the catfood cartels, the cat-hair remover makers and litter-box corporations....
