General Discussion

As the OP points out, talk to me about a birthing crisis when all of the kids in foster care have homes. When no child goes to bed hungry. When all have education and access to medical care. When they are all have a reasonable expectation of a home of their own, a fulfilling and well-paying job, and some happiness when they grow up.

All of this birthing/fertility crap is just another way the crazies are trying to control women. They've been on women over the last two decades to have more kids, and we see it happening. What was "normal" in the 1980's to have no more than two children, is now three and four. They will grow up uneducated and poor because the parent's resources are stretched too thin per child.

Disagree if you want. It is after all, someone's personal choice if they decide to have a bunch of kids. That's not the question here. The question here is - would it be a wise thing to do?
