Is she physically able to handle 3-18 months of sleep deprivation? Is she physically capable of carrying an infant in a car seat? Is her marriage strong enough to withstand the changes that parenthood will bring? Is she capable of being a single parent if necessary? Is she financially ready for 22 years of child rearing? Is she capable of self-reflection? Does she have any family-of-origin issues that she's avoided dealing with? Can she ask for help when she needs it?
Those are just some of the questions I'd ask any woman or man to consider before they commit to having a child.
