      True. Unwanted babies etc etc… having just had my first child a little over a month ago, it makes me sad to think of it, but I also know how stressful this stressful these weeks have been for my wife and I, and can’t imagine my mental state if I didn’t want the baby to begin with.

      Not being sarcastic, but why haven’t the experts the article mentions taken that in account then? For the record, I agree with you and this seems like a good explanation given the timeline. I don’t understand why “experts” might be confused though.
