Kids #2

And another thing: the UN, Planned Parenthood and any other child-reducing agency you want to name all defend their actions by saying that if we keep having too many kids, we’ll increase world poverty. Our defense is often “No we won’t. There’s plenty of wealth in the world, it’s just misdistributed.” True, at least for the time being. But here’s another one, perhaps a more fundamental statement of our position: “Maybe someday increased population will make the average human being poorer. Maybe a lot poorer. But human life makes it worthwhile to live in poverty. We’re supposed to lay down our lives for our friends, so we’d better be willing to give up food, shelter, and clothing for the lives of our children.”
