I fully agree. I also think it is a terrible way of improving the number of children. And they should focus on improving conditions for the poorest half of the population a lot more.

But that doesn’t mean I think the idea is so abhorent that I would be insulted by receiving the letter. (Ok, I personally would, but that is because I’m not a woman.) I’m fine with them sending the letter. Heck, pointing out free healthcare options is great! By all means: let women know what their options are.

Do you not want to be notified about free healthcare options available to you? Because if you ignore the ragebait headline and filter the article for its rage potential, the following quote explains it pretty nicely:

"The letter is being sent to 29-year-olds because women are able to have their eggs frozen at that age without a medical certificate. Women will also be reminded that social security in France covers the cost of freezing eggs for women between 29 and 37. "

So woman are being told how to keep the option for kids open for longer. That is quite the opposite of pressuring them into anything if you ask me.
