So a feminist writes in the New York Times how we have to think more before we breed and lamenting how too many people end up with kids because they don’t have enough abortions and stuff. But then I look to places where birth control has really taken root in Europe and Japan and they’re below replacement rates on births and their countries are starting to die because of it. The whole point of being parents is putting someone else ahead of your own needs, but birth control is all about looking at your needs first before having kids. It seems like a great idea to wait until you’re ready to have children, but there is no such things as a magical point when people are ready. And thus families are waiting longer to have children and having less — or just looking at them as this avoidable inconvenience to one’s lifestyle — and that’s how a society dies out. Maybe when to have children is just one of those things man’s just not smart enough to figure out.
I keep hoping that between abortion, birth control, and butt-ugly feminists, democrats will permanently breed themselves into extinction. But I always forget about the welfare leech demographic, which is apparently keeping democrats at near replacement rate.
As a right-wing undesirable conservative Christian subversive, my version of “family planning” involves not having sex before marriage and not using birth control after marriage. Step two involves teaching however many kids I end up having to vote Republican and how to shoot a gun.
The best time to have kids is about 9 months after conceiving one.
“Another sacred cow, to the Left at least, is Planned Parenthood. By ballyhooing it as an organization dedicated to providing poor women with health care, they try to conceal the fact that its real business is performing in excess of 300,000 abortions a year. If only the Nazis had been equally adept at public relations, they might have tried passing off Auschwitz and Buchenwald as Jewish resorts, sort of like those places in the Catskills.
Inasmuch as it doesn’t appear that Roe v. Wade will be overturned anytime in the near future, I have tried and finally succeeded in seeing the upside of the ill-conceived Supreme Court decision. Basically it comes down to the fact that with the Left pushing for more and more abortions while simultaneously propagandizing on behalf of homosexuality, it appears that liberalism contains the seeds of its own destruction, and will, inevitably, disappear from the face of the earth within the next few decades.”

Oh, and this was a stupid topic that wasted my time and you are an idiot.
Good day to you, sir!
You know what would be really helpful is if we had some sort of system where both parents of a child would agree to stick together to contribute emotionally and materially to the child’s well-being.
Bah! What am I saying? That would require long-term commitment and putting others’ needs ahead of your own. Feminists would never go for it.
A feminist writing about family is like a fish writing about bicycles.
Sure way to make her head explode: Tell her she’s absolutely right and the place to start is with Obama voters, aka welfare leeches. Or does she only mean having more then 2 kids with the same guy? She’s a liberal so i guess I know the answer.
….”and the instability of social conditions make it unwise to take for granted that our progeny will have good lives.”
How ironic, people like her are the main reason we have unstable social conditions to begin with.

I’m pretty sure not having children wasn’t her decision but I’m very glad she didn’t.

Glad to see a doctor who’s really really smart……. I guess he/she/it hasn’t heard of spell check not to mention reality.
I had six kids so that I could “breed” idiots like this out of the gene pool. Well, that and I love children (mine, not yours).
It seems the doomsday drummers are still pounding away. More than 45 years ago, I was terrorized in school by an “educational” film about our dwindling resources, and I still recall the extremely effective, all-block-letters 30 YEARS graphic that told us how much time was left before every last drop of oil on the planet was consumed. It popped up repeatedly during the film, and it scared the cr@p out of me – I was planning on living more than 30 years! And I lived in California, where life without cars is pretty much unimaginable. The film was supposed to inspire us to care and to resolve to do something about it, but I was in fifth grade – what exactly was I supposed to do? And here it is way more than 30 YEARS later, and by golly there is still a drop or two of oil left around. And my daughter saw a movie a few years ago in school, warning her that there was only enough oil left in the earth to last for 35 YEARS at today’s rate of consumption. I told her how lucky she was – we only got 30 years!
This is exactly how Idiocracy starts. Everyone smart enough to come up with excuses not to reproduce will be outbred by those who are not.
My Lovely Bride and I, as good Catholics are wont to do, practiced family planning. Our plan was to not give birth to a democrat. I’m delighted to tell you that this plan came to its,full flower yesterday.
Our youngest of seven, and recently graduated from High School turned 18 yesterday. I took the day off work so we could have some Daddy-Son time.
After enjoying an IHOP breakfast together I said to him: Son, it’s your day. What would you like to do.
Boy done me proud here, as he said:
Daddy, I’d like to register to vote today so that I can do my small part to evict the current residents of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
That, friends and neighbors, is Family Planning.
