Re: child birth
[ QUOTE ]
it always seemed weird to me how easy it is for a women to get pregnant considering that humans take care of children for 18 years and its such a drastically life changing event. according to freakonomics, the legalization of abortion resulted in huge decreases in crime. If God exists, or there was an intelligent design, wouldnt it make sense to postpone a women's fertility until she was older, more mature and to make it harder for people to get pregnant and give them more control in the matter?

we evolved in a tougher environment, shorter life expectancy. Now we're stuck with it for a while. This is another example of reason overcoming instinct. It's common for women in wealthier countries to do just as you're expecting. we outfox 'selfish genes' all the time.
