This is great news. Not only can I stop worrying about hitting 30, but the xCLP is already 3. She can start nursery school already.

And if the Pill really does kill all fertilized, unimplanted eggs, how’d I get here? My mom was on the Pill when she got pregnant with me. Per the “logic” above, my mangled little microscopic corpse should have been flushed down the toilet on a tampon.
