Ultimately, that kind of policy is win win. Many women want to have children, and an education, and a career, but simply cannot maintain all of these things given the current social climate. Speaking for myself, I have two children (ages 3 and 2), am working part-time, am an immigrant to Canada, and am applying to grad school. I know that eventually SOMETHING is going to give as I don't have the traditional supports women in my situation require (family, etc). While I may like to have another child at some point, I simply can't envision the potentially right now. Oh and daycares have a 1 to 2 year waiting list in our area. From a women's health perspective, this kind of policy making would also allow for better research into abortion and contraception and its effects on a woman's ability to reproduce when she does eventually decide to do so. Something I think many women have struggled with. Concerning Numero Uno-
