Giving birth is not for kids. Law just says that there is a legal age—eighteen, twenty-one and such things. First of all, giving birth requires that there has to be mental maturity. Unfortunately, 99% of the world’s population is not at all mentally mature enough to be parents. The funny thing is that the 1% who are mentally mature enough to be parents would never want to give birth.
It’s almost like a five-year-old girl giving birth—oh, she looks twenty-five, she is actually five. A four-year-old boy giving birth—oh, he looks like a brute of thirty-four, he is actually just four. Just as a four-year-old runs behind mama, this thirty-four year old runs behind the kids’ mama.
