I've been meaning to comment on this, it is just that being a small minded liberal I haven't been able to put my thoughts into words. Lets set aside that kids would probably rather be adopted by a gay couple than be in the system. Also that conservative states have the worst divorce rates in the nation (Nevada the only swing state.) Forget that, I want to focus on this idea of more children = a happier nation.
I see it with the Duggars, these families poping out babies left and right. I know many Roman Catholics have big families as well. Do conservatives not fear overpopulation? Because I do. I say this sometimes half joking, but I feel it could actually be very possible that there will be water wars in our lifetime. Well, maybe not for some of the older cats on this board... but you get the idea.
