I don’t remember tootsie pop ads, nor owls tasting them, sorry. LOL

I’m glad you’re happy with your four children, I wish everyone be happy with the children they have. I agree everyone should decide how many is good for them.

Thank you for considering me cool and merciful, I don’t think I’ve ever received a better compliment than that Wayne.

Surely you recall the old tootsie pop ads where they  tried to convince the consuner not to bite to reach the center . The owl tested how many licks  It should take.

Verifying a number by personal experience .

We have 4 children and that number is perfect for us.  we are pleased with each one.

Psalms says that seven is a full quiver with children like arrows.  eight is fullness number.
I have friends with 7 and 8 and none desire fewer.  psalms also says children are a blessing.  my owl test says that is right.

everyone can decide how many is good for them.  Don't be defrauded by various ideologies.

Karen is cool and has a merciful heart

I might learn from him too, if I could just understand him. I guess he doesn’t appreciate my giving him an out, you know with drugs due to pain. I often don’t understand you either, but I know I can always look up Chomsky or Macabe.

The tootsiepop owl method suggests four as minimum number of children with seven or eight being a full complement.
As to whether or not they can be afforded the answer is always no.  No one knows how it will turn out.
Don't let them tell you that your personal restriction of family size is doing good.  It is nonsense.  those same folk would seek to tell you that your vote means anything in the mass scale of things.

Personal views on what the appropriate size of one's family ought to be, and how many children one can support, both from the father's perspective and the mother's perspective, vary greatly from economic cycle to country, cultural, religious viewpoint, and especially in wartime as we know. Views on how many children can be supported also frequently vary between the father and the mother. (In which case, I, of course, am on the side of the person having or choosing to co-operate with God, aka the Life Force of the Universe, the Higher Power, the 9-10 months of growing a zygote-fetus-into a beautiful child.) I am interested in how agendas on contraception & sterilization change over different countries, political parties & oppressed peoples. One would think fundamentalist Christians seeing Revelation being fulfilled would look at the verse saying Woe to those with child and be for contraception. Cognition dissonance is their str ength. Or am I projecting again?

Don’t be ridiculous. Population stabilizes with development and social justice.

People aren’t poor because they have too many children. People have too many children because they’re poo r - an extended family in the only form of social security in societies lacking social justice.

Che's remark shows an ignorance of the relationships between over population, individual suffering, environmental degradation and WAR.
Che clearly not a demographer.

The US contraceptive and anti-natal policies were meant to reduce the population pressures for social justice in America’s semi-colonies, particularly in Latin America.

Hence Che’s remark.

Fear of forced sterilization is not an excuse for preventing a woman’s choice over her body. In fact, forcing childbirth is little different from forced sterilization. Killing the unborn, we’re speaking of seeds and fetuses not babies, is not the same thing as killing children already born, living their lives.

The US has long sponsored contraceptive and anti-natal policies in Latin America. (Not, for the most part, so brutally as Israel’s sterilization programs for Bedouins, African refugees, etc.)

Che Guevara is supposed to have attacked those programs by saying, “It’s easier to kill a guerrilla in the womb than in the hills."
