Too many Children?

How many is too many, and who gets to decide?

If you live in the US, this is still a (semi) free country. You don’t get to tell other people how many children they can have.

I’ve heard much talk on this topic lately, but what set me off was the whole octuplet mom story. Leave her alone. Mind your own business. She isn’t telling you how many children to have, so what gives you the right to tell her?

Someone also mentioned the other day in a chat that everyone should be “fixed” at a young age and then be required to fill out a ton of paperwork and receive approval before they are allowed to have children. It was also stated that there should be no parental rights that the government should be in control of all children.

It sounded like a bad movie to me. A really bad one.

Who are these people and what makes them think they can tell other people what to do and how to live? They seem to see themselves on a higher plane where they can dictate to others...

To those people I say, get over yourself.
