I read an article yesterday that said that 2006 was a bumper year for babies in the US with more than 4.3 million babies born in 2006. It made me feel warm – right up until I read the reasons why the ‘experts’ decided this had happened. Apparently ‘experts’ think more babies were born because fewer people are using contraception, have less access to abortions, have a poor education or are in poverty. It was a tone that made it clear all these things are bad. Apparently in the ‘experts’ ideal world no one would have a a child unless they got pregnant by accident, chose not to have an abortion, held a PhD and were filthy rich. Experts are so dumb sometimes. I think that maybe wanting to have another child might factor into the equation somewhere. Maybe they did, but just called it ‘not using contraception’.
