[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought we were going away from huge families with the advent of birth control but I guess not.[/quote]

None of my six kids were accidents, dear.  We knew exactly what we were doing.  What a stupid statement.[/quote]

Did you want such a large family from the start?[/quote]

Yes.  Would have had more if not for age and complications.[/quote]

Are you religious? Or have a farm? [/quote]

No farm.  As for being religious, it is defined as, “relating to or believing in a religion,” so yes.  I’m sure you’d like to believe it means something different though so I’ll leave any conjecture up to you.[/quote]

Do other people in your religion also have large families?

Does your religion encourage large families or discourage birth control? Does it play a factor at all in your family planning? 
[/quote]

I see where you’re going, but there’s really no correlation. It’s somewhat offensive actually.  We’re quite capable of controlling ourselves and not having kids, you know?  We’ve chosen to have a large family.[/quote]

How are those questions offensive? Family planning is an important part of some religions. ??

Do you use birth control now that you’re done having kids? [/quote]

Anyone?

Is it really offensive to ask if your religion plays a role in your family planning?

Obviously it does for Catholics...not sure why PP overreacted to the question.

I believe she answered your question. She said “we are capable of controlling ourselves” but you just keep pushing. That indicates her children were not born because she didn’t/couldn’t/wouldn’t use birth control.[/quote]

No, she didn’t answer at all.

And I’m opening it up for others. Obviously, religion is a factor.

Maybe it’s a sore spot for some? Don’t want to admit that they are influenced by religion?
