Re: Your column on American women's career options
Interesting piece. I agree that the common pattern of a professional woman interrupting her career at mid-gallop in order to have babies after her healthiest and most fertile period has ended is less than ideal. It seems to me that it would indeed make more sense for women to have their children earlier, and go to work later.
Yours is the first proposal for conservative social engineering I've seen in a long time that struck me as reasonable, neither excessively punitive nor offensively condescending. Thank you for something worth chewing over.
