The most convincing argument against early parenthood is that you are in a relationship that is likely to fall apart before that child grows up.

Parenthood remains the greatest single preserve of the amateur.

In response to our fast-food culture a 'slow food' movement appeared. Out of hurried parenthood a move toward slow parenting could be growing. With vital government supports for state-of-the-art public child care and paid parental leave maybe we would be ready to try slow love and marriage.

Thankfully President Obama has stood firmly behind women's health care issues by supporting coverage for contraception and reaffirming commitment to organizations like Planned Parenthood.

Billy is a funny cheeky lovely boy and I love being with him. Parenthood is terrifying though. I can barely walk past a building without panicking that it's going to collapse on his head.

Our youth deserve the opportunity to complete their high school and college education free of early parenthood. Their future children deserve the opportunity to grow up in financially and emotionally stable homes. Our communities benefit from healthy productive well-prepared young people.

Parenthood and family come first for me and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.

Becoming a mother cannot help but change things. An author's life is reflected in their writing whether they want it to be or not and parenthood is one of the biggest life changes there is.

What's great about TV and what I love about being on 'Parenthood ' is you have this family. I'm now going on four years of working with the same 100 people and that helps you feel like your life has more roots. It's more conducive to having a family and you're staying in town. So that part is amazing.
