51 year old single woman has IVF for 2nd child

[Rikurzhen]

Destruction of society continues apace:

Manhattan publicist Tracey Kahn, 51, is pregnant with her second child, due in February. Her daughter, Scarlett, whom she delivered when she was 49, is 2. The single high flier is among a growing percentage of women undergoing fertility treatment beyond the age of 50 — according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there’s been a nearly fourfold increase in the number of babies born between 1997 and 2008 to moms age 50 and up. Here, Kahn tells The Post’s Jane Ridley about her decision to embrace later-in-life motherhood.​

Who cares, as long as me, the taxpayer, is not dunned to support her offspring?

 

[Politico]

Good for her?

 

[Rikurzhen]

Good for her?

And so increases the decline of America.

 

[Politico]

Yes women having babies is destroying America. Oh wait was she not white?

Celebration helps to shift norms. We don't need to be encouraging single motherhood, single motherhood at the age of 51 nor motherhood at the age of 51. This should be frowned upon.

Secondly, births via donated gametes are a violation of the human rights of the child, as noted in the UN Treaty on the Human Rights of the Child in that this woman's choice deprives the child of knowing his father.

The age issue though is troubling. A mother of a 10 year old at age 62. Getting social security and being a mother of a 13 year old.

 

[Noomi]

A 90 year old man is capable of becoming a father, and we all clap and say good on him, but when a woman wants a baby at the age of 50, she's crucified?

Why?

Good for her, I guess.

As long as she can afford to pay to raise her own child, it's really nobody else's business.

Link, please. And a quote from the relevant section of the treaty.

 

[g5000]

Convention on the Rights of the Child

The US has not ratified this Convention.

Relevant to this topic:

The United Kingdom interprets the references in the Convention to `parents' to mean only those persons who, as a matter of national law, are treated as parents. This includes cases where the law regards a child as having only one parent, for example where a child has been adopted by one person only and in certain cases where a child is conceived other than as a result of sexual intercourse by the woman who gives birth to it and she is treated as the only parent.

That's in direct contravention of the treaty. The Interpretation Handbook makes clear that the child has a right to know his genetic parents.

Let's be clear here. This is a HUMAN RIGHT of every person. Having a child is not a HUMAN RIGHT, it's a desire.

Why is there a national scandal when a hospital mixes up new borns in the maternity ward. If you went to deliver a child and you were sent home with a baby, WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF THE CHILD WAS NOT YOURS?

Why did the Stolen Baby issue in Argentina cause so much grief? After all the babies stolen were put into homes with two loving parents? Why did it matter to the now-grown children and their aunts, uncles, and grandparents that these children be found and identified?

A good majority of adopted children and IVF children born via donated gametes have a severe identity crisis - they don't know WHO they are. With adopted children that can't be helped, their natural parents couldn't look after them and adoption is the best choice available, but with IVF we're dealing with a conscious choice by a parent(s) to put a loaded gun up to the head of the child and play Russian Roulette, gambling that the child won't suffer life-long trauma from now knowing who he is. That's a gross violation of a child's human rights.

Abortion is the destruction of society.

And f*ck the U.N.

Of the women discussed and pictured, the only non-white I see is Halle Berry.

This is just bitter old fart, Rikurzhen minding other people's business.

Typical of Peeping Tom RWs is that they want to control other people's sex lives. They want sharia law - law based on their religious beliefs.

Abortion, marriage equality, transgender, and now, apparently having children after some magic age - get out other people's bedrooms. If its between consenting adults and harms no one else, get government out of our private lives.

Like it or not, that's my opinion.

It must suck to be you, to belong to a group which has abandoned the fight for Human Rights and watching others carry on that battle while you fight to harm Human Rights in order to advance the Liberal Agenda.

Its her private life.

If she's not harming anyone, its her business.

I wish people would get this upset about dead beat dads but of course, that's all about children so not nearly as important and valued as fetuses.

Is it also ok for her to have a physician amputate one of the limbs on the fetus? The baby, when it's born, won't know any better, won't know what it's like to have two legs, so what business is it of ours to interfere?
