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. All the instances of baby making belong to those who should never have been allowed to make babies.
It’s almost like a five-year-old girl giving birth. Oh, she looks twenty-five—she is actually five.
