If you guys don't even know how long gestation is for humans, you don't stand a chance against women in nearly any argument.

1) You already posted several times in that post, was it needed to post a new one here?

2) That person was not wrong, just not exactly accurate. While it's true that women can give birth more than once during a year (becoming pregnant just after having giving birth), it's a quite rare situation. Again, that person was not accurate, this is true.

3) "you don't stand a chance against women in nearly any argument."

This is total non-sense and a basis for a series of ad hominem attacks. I could believe a lot of wrong things about women anatomy, that my arguments with women about any topic could still be totally correct.

For the record, I just downvoted you because you're using a semantic argument which has nothing to do with the premise.

Frankly you're just as wrong.

Human gestation is an average of 40 weeks. It can be shorter, with babies surviving with extreme medical assistance as early as 24 weeks, and can go as long as 44 weeks with relative safety.

A year is 52 weeks long.

After birth, it takes 80% of women up to 10 weeks to have another normal menstrual period. Most women won't ovulate again until at least 6 weeks post-partum.

So while possible, for the vast majority, birthing twice in 12 months is highly unlikely, given you have at best 2 chances at conceiving to make it happen given a full 40 week baby and ovulation again at 6 weeks postpartum.

You pointed out a technicality that would allow a woman to give birth twice in the same year...what do you want a freakin' medal?
