If it were only liberals, I'd be inclined to cheer this trend on . . . postponing children, that is, not aborting them. But the Me/Me/Me Now/Now/Now culture is not confined to liberals. A significant number of self-styled conservatives see "personal liberty" as the highest good . . . and they believe they are most liberated when they are free from any and every responsibility toward others.

If government would keep their darn fingers out of how parents choose to raise their children I think more people would be inclined to have more children.

Unfortunately with the NEA hovering over the classrooms parents are becoming just the breeders of the pupils. We have no authority over what they are taught anymore.

I think every American child should study American history first then world history. That way the kids would see how much better America is than the other countries. Instead the kids are being taught that they are citizens of the World and must know the distinctions between every other race on earth. They must never look down upon any other country because that isn't PC.

Well, this balances the "Me/Me/Me" crowd who have children they can't afford to support and dump on the rest of society. :-(

Well, duh -- that's the definition of being a conservative (instead of a big-government liberal). That's like saying that a significant number of self-styled Catholics see the Pope as a spiritual leader.

So are you saying that people are obligated to have children?

A significant number of self-styled conservatives see "personal liberty" as the highest good . . . and they believe they are most liberated when they are free from any and every responsibility toward others.

I happen to think that when people have any doubts about their readiness and committment to have children, it's far more responsible to put off having children.
