"How many young women do you know, happily married or the equivalent, who are wilfully refusing to have children now at the risk of running the gauntlet of IVF in five years time?"
I guess Molly Watson would be surprised to hear this answer ..... quite a few.
What's the "equivalent" of happily married? Married "in a state of tolerant resignation"?
If she thinks any form of unmarried relationship is "equivalent," she's on Planet Zongo.
In another 10-15 years she will sound just like Maureen Dowd does now -- bitter, resentful, self-pitying, blaming everyone but herself for where she is in life -- she will be absolutely pathetic.
Could this be God's/Nature's way of giving us a much needed reduction in the population?
