[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every person born is an additional carbon footprint. And families with a western lifestyle have a much greater impact on the environment than do families who don't.

Therefore, anyone who biologically produces more than two kids is sucking up a disproportionate amount of resources. The same is true of parents who knowingly produce one or more kids who definitely or likely will not be functionally independent adults.

And yes, raising a child well entails not only financial but also physical, emotional, psychological and intellectual resources. So, to cite an extreme example, having one kid is still one kid too many if the parents in question are Alex Dacy and Noah Smith.

There are sane Catholic families, at least in the Northeast: these are the ones with two working parents in professional jobs who provide well in all aspects for no more than two or three kids and use birth control. Tim Carney's is not one of them. He is a patriarchal fascist.[/quote]

It would really amaze you to see how happy these families are. They love their children and the children love each other. It’s not for everybody but it works for a lot of people. These ladies understand the science of natural fertility and have control over their bodies. They are doing as they please. Also, a lot of them are shockingly cute and some are quite beautiful despite all the childbirth. I think it’s the joy factor. [/quote]
