Why More Women Are Freezing Their Eggs
WGBH ^ | April 16, 2021

Posted on 04/16/2021 8:32:06 PM PDT by nickcarraway

It’s too soon to know all the ways the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped our decisions about life and family, but during the year of uncertainty, many women decided to protect their reproductive future by freezing their eggs. Just a little over a decade ago, egg freezing was considered an experimental procedure. Today, it's a common procedure millions of women choose each year. During the pandemic, the number of women electing to postpone pregnancy by freezing their eggs nearly doubled. Why? And will their choice have a broader impact long term?

Those kids will always be cold, and susceptible to frostbite.

But seriously, this is a touchstone of how sick our society it.

Women freeze their eggs while looking for the right man when the real problem is that the women in question are woke b**ches and in 10 years they will still be woke b**ches.

Any sane person of childbearing age would save their eggs or sperm before getting even the first jab.

IMHO.

What is so hard to believe? We live in a society that equivocates the murder of a baby (Because it is “inconvenient) to “freedom” At the same time that butchers carve up said baby and make money for it. THAT! Is the world we’re living in! I call that EVIL! It happens every single day, and they have made an “industry” out of it. IT IS EVIL!

I have no doubt. And this is ok with me in same rare cases, couples having problems by trying, a woman with cancer heading into some spooky treatment who wants he eggs not to get that chemo blast, etc.

But just as a delaying tactic to work on the next promotion, hike Macchu Picchu, etc... it’s not cool.

Thanks to the Left. We’ve lost all control of our institutions. Not much is left. Right now we have the heartland. The middle class. And not much else. The Wall Street used to be on our side but now they find it easier to bribe Democratic politicians to get what they want.

Yes, “The Prisonner”, Patrick McGoonan and Leo McKern (sp) - “She who must be obeyed”.

Because they want to wait until their career days are over and have kids in their 60s?
