I didn't say it was fair, but what nature dictates and what reality/lifestyles do don't always go hand in hand. Obviously it's not easy with today's educations pressures and bills, but there are consequences to waiting late that people have to realize. People shouldn't be that surprised when they spend 10-15 years suppressing natural reproductive functions with birth-control, and then have a tough time having a baby later. It sucks, no doubt, but I'm not surprised.

Hey, it might not be PC, but women unfortunately often have that decision to make. Often times one or the other has to suffer, as it's definitely not easy to excel at both. I definitely sympathize, it's definitely not ideal, but it's not my fault the human body want's to have babies during the prime college/career years.
