Good luck with banning birth control or higher education for women. I like a lot of things about TR too, but the world has changed quite a bit since his lifetime. Do you also share his enthusiasm for eugenics?

No, I'm not part of the Margaret Sanger/Planned Barrenhood crowd.

In 20 years plus, you'll thank folks like me for having lots of kids. They'll be the teenagers who cut your lawn. They'll be the young men who defend your country. They'll be the neighbors who shovel your walk. They'll be the taxpayers who keep your pension plan afloat. They'll be the clinicians who care for you in the nursing home and the social worker who spends time with you when no one comes to visit. They'll be the priests who give you the last rights.

If physical reasons prevent you from having children--adopt.
