Jesse beat me.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

SEIU might be protesting health care cuts.

If there are religious conservatives saying it (and there probably are), I'm pretty sure there are people saying it from other points of view, regardless of religion. I think this was recently discussed in the New England Journal of Medicine. I know it is not a new idea. I do think it is part of the equation a people need to take into consideration.
Any chance it was Resolve who put out the ad, tommy? A quick google on "infertility increases with age" doesn't seem to bring up any obviously religious groups on the first page. [link]
Oooops. Delayed Xpost.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse beat me.
But not in a mean-kids dodgeball way, right?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The SEIU had a big to-do 2 years ago in Boston -- office cleaners were threatening a strike, and the mayor had to step in to make the office management companies go to the bargaining table. They protested right outside my office, and we cheered them on.

Aha. So it's actually just scare advertising.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I saw and noted the xpost after the fact. I got distracted from posting in a timely manner, by one of the products of my fertility.

BWAH!
They called my pregnancies geriatric pregnancies because I was over 35. (38 & 40) No doubt I was more responsible about my medical care and physical behavior than I would have been in my 20's. The doctors made a big deal about it though.
I turn 35 this year. Eeek.

Our wings are not tired.

They make a much bigger deal if it is the first time. For subsequent pregnancies they just show the scary abnormalcy figures. I refused to have any invasive tests because 1) I'm scared of big needles and 2) It wouldn't have changed my mind. Down Syndrome not the end of the world.
