Comment Re:Risks and rewards of pregnancy (Score 1) 29

And if, as the study shows- the stress of the 9 months of pregnancy is equivalent to two years of life, and the woman only gets back a large portion of that investment with engaging in breastfeeding- then does a late-term abortion also abort the positive portions of birth and breastfeeding?

20-30 MB of downloads happen in a flash on modern broadband anyways so I don't see this as a problem.

Comment Re:Plastic recycling has always been a scam (Score 1) 101
