Oh isn't it.
In the phrase "40 to 70 years" the minimum quantity is "40".
He's saying ages 40 to 70 are the childbearing years.
Tell me with a straight face that you've never heard of anyone under 40 having a child.
As I said --- absurd.
Really? This degree of reality-suspension just to try to score partisan hack points on a message board? Really?
No
what's absurd is you claiming a 'generation' is 20 years.
At what age do humans start reproducing? Hm?
Just take a wild guess.
And here's a hint --- how many women do you know giving birth between ages 40 and 70?
Here's another hint:
>> At 23, I was still in college, partying on Tuesday nights and flitting in and out of classes during the day. What were you doing? Even if you had a child, you definitely didn't have a grandchild, like 23-year-old Rifca Stanescu of Romania, who is said to be the world's youngest grandmother. Although, according to Wikipedia, the youngest grandmother was 17-year-old Mum-Zi of Nigeria.) << - ParentingIt's a shame you missed this but at some point maybe your parents should have had that talk about the "birds and bees". I'm afraid there's no stork involved.
Here's a hint
some don't get married til middle age or later, few only have one child.
you want to use teenagers as mothers?
Fine.
here's a list of mothers giving birth into their 50s

Once AGAIN ---- in the phrase "40 to 70" ---- what is the minimum number??
Use Googles if you have to.
Doesn't apply any more than your supposition that a generation is 20 years.
