This whole topic must be considered in the light of increased health and life expectancy. Isn't a 25-year-old woman now as healthy and having as long an expected remaining lifetime as an 18-year-old did in 1950?

And of course the problem of divorce and children comes into play. People get attached to dogs, never mind children--and if the other person can call things off and take the children--and even move out of state . . .

Throw in child support to boot, and becoming a father is trusting your wife. A lot. So should I be eager to see my son get married? I'm thinking, I'm thinking!

I am curious to see what the end result is going to be with these career women who realize they can't have kids so late in life. (I am referencing the article that came out a while ago that recomended giving birth before 30)

In all of this, I see a definite lack of trust on both sides. A lack with good reason.
