My great-grandmother bore eleven children, buried three of them, raised my mother from infancy, spent her life as a farm wife, and battled cancer for twenty years before dying at 78. She died before I was born, so my knowledge of her is from my mother and from a photo I have of her late in life. She had a kind and pleasant face, and looked very good considering what she had been through. Of course, she was of a breed of human being quite common in her day, and quite rare today.
Every woman should have 3 children. Just find a way to help make it stable without the government. A tall order.
