Great news. I've had several children and now expect to live a very long time.

I wish that more information had been included in this article. For example, did the studies compare lifespans of women who had not had children?
I have also read numerous reports on the declining of womens' longevity in recent decades, and this was tied to their more commonplace entry into the labor force and away from the role of the traditional "stay at home" wife of times past, suggesting that women were now being "worked to death" just as men always have been.

Katherine Hepburn lived to be 90 something, and several friends of mine who had children died of: melanoma, breast /bone cancer, brain cancer, ...
I know there are exceptions, but this seems like a lot of junk science. So, girls, don't go out there and get pregnant just to live longer.
Or maybe, when you're a Mom, it just seems longer...

Gee, I wonder if the pro-aborts will use this information to get pregnant, derive the life lengthening "benefit" from the fetus, and then have an abortion at their convenience?

Maybe this is why there is a Bible verse,
I Timothy 2:15
But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.

Well, I'm sure the left's "further research" will conclude that becoming pregnant and aborting will yield the same result.
On the other hand the life expectancy difference between men and women is only about 2 - 3 years, so I'm not that concerned.
