Kids
Either you love 'em or you hate 'em. Or in the case of Fred West - both. Tell us your ankle-biter stories.

As CHCB says
it's no one's "right" to be a parent in any form.
I'll toss out here the case of H. Much as I love her as a friend, H is a VERY high maintenance woman, now in her mid 40s. And when I first met her, five years ago, she was desperate to get pregnant.
This is a woman with serious health issues, a complete control freak, and at the time had just hit 42. So why did she want to get pregnant? Because she loved kids and had been told for decades what a great mother she would make, and now that she had spent her 20s and 30s having fun, she realized that her time was about up. So she wanted a baby and she wanted it NOW.
I won't go into details, but fortunately for all involved this never came to be. Nothing good could possibly have come of that.
Just because a woman has a uterus and the urge to use it doesn't give her the RIGHT to do so.
