Ok, fine. But that begs the question; Why is abortion legal?
I fully believe in the Catholic teaching on the family. But the truth is that many women just should not be mothers. If they know this and choose not to have children I have a hard time condemning them. If such women are Catholic I of course believe that means they choose another vocation besides marriage and follow Catholic teaching on sexual morality. If they are not, I can hardly demand they adhere to Church teaching.
Yes the decline of fertility is a concern but if we turn our attention to really supporting families we may see a reverse in that decline.
I had a Chinese business associate visit me recently. We were out for a walk around my suburban neighborhood. He noticed the big houses (certainly compared with China), several nice cars, and the fact that there were quite a few “yuppies” with no kids - and every house seemed to have a dog.
He commented - American couples seem to work hard, go to work early, come home late, and maintain big houses - for their dogs to live in.
If it’s mostly Liberal women/couples not having children than this is a good thing because whatever defective genes that causes them to think/behave they way they do will hopefully die out with them.
This should be a good thing because the population would eventually bottom out and going forward the defective burdensome Liberals would be gone.
Unfortunately though the 3 M’s, Mexicans, Moslems and Morons continue to breed like rabbits to take their place
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life

Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."
Is this the DC bishop?
My wife’s cousin lives in Northern Virginia. When we visit I am always struck by the number of dog parks and the lack of children’s playgrounds.
We have a dog. He is a great little dog and we love him like a fuzzy member of the family. But if I had to I would butcher him myself to feed the family.
But I grew up on a farm. We would name the cattle, and then butcher the same.
I have saw women kissing their dog and then see the same dog in a fresh pile of cow manure, probably to take the taste out of its mouth.

Not everyone is blessed with children.
