    That doesn’t appear to separate out the ages, it just says it typically happens 15-19, but can be as low as 10.

    I have a feeling no matter how many facts or how much data I present to refute your position you aren’t going to be open to changing your mind.

    Let’s see if you’re projecting:

    “A woman’s fertility peaks between her late teens to late-20s after which it starts to decline”

    But that being said, you recognize that this was typical, which seems you should also recognize that this is what we evolved around. If women were reproducing at a young age, but were dying slightly more by their 30s, this wasn’t creating downward evolutionary pressure.

      The best time to have a baby with the lowest risk is ages 20 - 26. That’s the window with the best outcome. I love science, it’s the best way to move towards better ideas and medical practices. That’s why I care about dispelling the idea that teenagers are in their reproductive prime.

      Also, this might be interesting to you. Women didn’t marry young as frequently as we’re told.

        So not being open to changing your mind was a projection. I figured as much, its almost always people thinking they see themselves in other people when they make baseless accusations.

      A little off base, but, Many of my relatives came from families of 6-10 children. More often than not, mothers died in childbirth. Is this where we want society to return?

        How did you possibly get yourself to this being a reasonable question?

            Of course it matters because I certainly don’t believe we should go back to that at all and I have no idea how you could had possibly gotten yourself there.
