A new study in the journal Child Development has found that babies who are the result of unplanned or mistimed pregnancies “had fewer resources [including parental support and learning materials] than intended siblings” and “Parents’ emotional resources to older children decreased after the birth of a mistimed sibling.” (H/t, Lilsugar.)

Given that many lesbian pregnancies are planned with more logistics than it takes to move an Army battalion (yet another reason they should welcome us in the military!), wouldn’t it follow that the children of lesbians have way more parental support and other resources than children of opposite-sex couples?
