Out of work? Have a baby

This is a weird but apparently serious posting from Above the Law:

"In these tough economic times, people are (1) having trouble finding jobs as they come out of law school, (2) recently laid-off, or (3) miserable in the jobs they still have, given how low morale is and how many hours they're expected to work now (given the 'be grateful for your job' mentality).

"People in such situations are often unable to make a change, given how few jobs there are out there and how much competition there is for them. But they're scared to just up and quit, because very few employers would actually buy that they had resigned and not been fired.

"What's a girl to do? Make babies. That's what."

Comments to the post seem to say that "a lot" of women lawyers (whatever that means) are taking this path.
