My mom used to drive around with "Choose Life" license plate frames and tell us as fertile young people that even if we made babies by accident to bring them home as family.

Just the thought of bringing new children into my parents household as additional siblings with diapers to change was so terrifying that me and my siblings didn't have children until we could support them on our own.

My parents, and my wife's parents, are both heretics in realizing it's maybe possible there are too many people on this earth.

But as humans of this earth we've all got to accept with love everyone already born, else we are monsters.
