There’s a huge and well thought out consensus teenage parenthood is bad.

It’s talked about a lot. Not as much as it used to be, but that’s because it’s become common sense. People don’t talk about common sense consensus positions.

But good things can have bad side effects, and people can be so happy about the good thing, they don’t see the bad thing.

Talk about the advantages of delayed child bearing all you want, but it won’t be a particularly original conversation.




I don't really care if the conversation is original, if it means we live in a world where girls are granted the opportunity to grow in knowledge and experience before sacrificing their bodies and lives to childbearing and childrearing.


And posting articles like this doesn’t take away from that in any way.
