I’m surprised they don’t mention age. Fertility declines in both men and women with age.

A woman could be perfectly healthy and fertile, but, if her husband is significantly older, they may have trouble getting pregnant.

Also, if she has put off even thinking about starting a family because of career or other reasons in her fertile 20s, she may find difficulties in her 30s, when she would have easily gotten pregnant a decade earlier.

I know biological facts are stubborn and some people don’t want to talk about it. But people really should think about how long they are going to put off trying to have children.

In my experience, every man I've met has trouble getting pregnant. In fact, I have never yet met a pregnant man.

Too many women in my generation bought into the Feminst meme ‘you can have children even in your 40’s’. Many of us had trouble carrying children in our 30’s. A friend Resident Dr once asked me if I wanted children and I said of course. He said ‘don’t leave it too late’. I thank God every day that I was able to have one child. Many miscarriages after that in my late 30’s. Feminists ruined many women’s chances of children. But many of us didn’t know better and were swept up in the infancy of the Feminist movement. Happy I awakened to the lies. Sad that I didn’t awaken earlier than I did.

They do mention age, in the first paragraph.

The various other factors, like multiple abortions, long-time use of hormonal contraceptives, and treatments for cervical cancer, would not be big factors if the woman had her kids in her youth, in her 20’s, the way she was designed.

The whole trend of delaying marriage and kids until after secure in her career, does not bode well for the long-term viability of the middle-class. Women SHOULD find a good husband in their late-teens/early-20s. Being married is NOT incompatible with being in college. Then have your babies. Go to work, if you really want to, when the kids are older and in school.
