Marcia Cross is irresponsible

**Edit** The following may be offensive to some readers, but I want to clarify that I am not suggesting it isn’t possible to have a healthy child-birth after this particular age. I am going off of the over whelming evidence that suggests that it is dangerous. I define irresponsibility as someone who is fully aware of the possible risks involved with pregnancy after 40 and I choose to refer to her neglecting to heed warnings of possible danger as irresponsible, especially since she is a celebrity and looked up to by a majority of her fans.

Marcia Cross has recently confirmed that she is pregnant with her first child. USA Today reports,

The Desperate Housewives actress, 44, wasted no time starting a family after exchanging “I do’s” with first husband, 48-year-old stockbroker Tom Mahoney, on June 24. She is due in April, when Housewives will be wrapping production on Season 3.

There are just certain ages women should not have children. Women under 20 and over 40 are these particular age groups. Sure they are capable of having children, but just because they make tube tops in size 12 and speedos in size 50 waist, it doesn’t mean a 300 pound man should wear it in public. The bottom line is, if you’re under 20, you’re most likely not ready to take care of your child and if you’re over 40 there is a significant chance of having a mentally disabled child. Why risk it? Irresponsibility. [tags]Marcia Cross[/tags]
