This post of yours is a classic example of several points of view that show poor judgment. I’m glad a few FReepers have come on to let you know that.
I'll just let the numbers speak for themselves.

Down's SybdromeAt 25, a woman has about 1 chance in 1,250 of having a baby with Down syndrome; at age 30, a 1-in-1,000 chance; at age 35, a 1-in-400 chance; at age 40, a 1-in-100 chance; and at 45, a 1-in-30- chance.

Miscarriage — Only 9 percent of recognized pregnancies for women aged 20 to 24 end in miscarriage; 15 percent of women aged 25-30 miscarry; 40 percent of women over 40 do and more than 50 percent miscarry at 42 years of age.

Stillbirth — Occurs more often in women over age 35 than in women aged 20 to 35.

Low birth weight babies (weighing less than 5 1/2 lbs.) — Women over age 35 were 20 to 40 percent more likely than younger women to have a low birth weight baby, and 20 percent more likely to have a premature delivery.

Selfish behavior costs the child far more than it does the parent.

Assuming your statistics are correct, what is your solution? Forced abortions? Government approval of all pregnancies?

You're one scary guy and I think you're posting on the wrong forum.
