My parents and my wife's parents had a huge mob of kids before they decided birth control wasn't a bad idea.

My siblings, and my wife's siblings are averaging much less than two kids per couple. It's very likely we are done with reproduction and our parents will not see any more grandchildren.

Religious wedge issues do not move me.
