I totally agree with this, part of the reason we're in the mess we are, is because the conservative populations abstain from birth control, so they hold a tight grip of this country by the power of the womb. I love my children, I think progressives and liberals should embrace the idea of large families because those children will grow up to be progressive and change the world, or just don't have kids so those of us who do, our kids will be ruled by the Trump's and Bush's for the next 200 years, until the world turns into Mars 2.0. or would it be Venus 2.0?.. Edit: I have 2 children (we went through 8 rounds of IVF for those 2 buggers), would probably have more if we could but funds are tight now. Though, we might adopt. Luckily insurance paid most of it back when I wasn't freelancing. So, I say this even though I don't have a huge family of 6+ kids, but if you're up to the challenge I salute you! Adoption is also admirable and while you're not passing genes, you can pass on values and your ethical systems to a new generation so if you want to help the environment by not having kids but also change things generationally --think about fostering and adoption. We used to be foster parents and it'll change your entire viewpoint on life, it's hard though when the kids are reunified with the family even though mom and dad are still doing drugs... lots of heartbreak there, but it's worth it for the difference it makes.
