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.
New line... "Hey Baby, wanna live longer?"
How does this explain crotchety old nuns that were in my grade school?
Nice post. Thanks.
Mom ping!
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?
Wow, and people told me 4 kids were too many!
No WAY am I having kids just for some "disease-fighting stem cells."
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.
