Rule Reproduction

One ingenius way to crush the middle class is to pressure families into two paycheck households, then hold down at least one of the careers by inserting reproductive uncertainty into the number of consecutive paychecks equations.
Employers have historically put women in precarious positions regarding raises and promotions
citing that no one can help young women remain unpregnant.
If women have access to the safe reproductive healthcare available in a modern world, the im-
pregnation argument has to lose steam. Maybe the loss will be slow at first; but it will be steady.
Women who have the power to decide, may quite often say: 'I am thirty-five. I have decided I will
have no more children.'
A thirty-five year old woman could easily get a degree, go to med school, do an internship, a re-sidency, and practice medecine for fifteen years or more. Many women have teenagers or preteens by age thirty-five.
A thirty-five year old woman could get a degree going to school year round, earn an MBA or CPA, and carve out atwenty to twenty three year career in business or banking.
A woman of thirty-five could do the same thing with a career in the law.
A woman who controls her own reproductive life can also decide to go to work while her babies
are at school, and use nannies or other family members to help without starving the help to death so that they are not too tired to do much with the kids before mom gets home.
In a modern industrial society, we don't have to work women to death in service industries only ,offering the tiniest of all paychecks available in our workforce.
Of course any children will still need mom home all day every day. Some of those who don't, however, will be proud to have two professional parents.
