I have long believed that the huge increase in infertility, lack of ovulation, etc. in young women is directly attributable to their having fooled their bodies with birth control hormones from a very young age.

They should be careful what they wish for ... and then not whine when they ultimately can't snap their fingers and get pregnant at will.
