It is as if children and large families are Taboo, are the cooties, are something to avoid like mines in a mine field. That saddens me. Here is my reply.
"I was saddened by the same comment as Patrick, 'With the Pill I know I can keep earning money and not worry about an accident that would ruin everything.' I was also saddened by 'The fashion for large families went the way of the girdle.'.
These comments brought me back to the way I used to think when I lived a fear-based and faithless existence. It was a time when I thought children and large families were like cooties and should be avoided like running around mines in a mine field.
These comments also reflect the reality that many ProChoicers are not truly ProChoice. If one is truly ProChoice, then they would support me and my choice to have a large family [if I was blessed with one] and would not make cutting remarks about my choice. My choice would be celebrated along with theirs."
One big mistake people make with the Pill is thinking it is a panacea for all sex-related issues in or out of a marriage, but this is completely wrong. The Pill simply masks the issues that will eventually arise and have to be addressed, before or during of a marriage, hopefully not after a divorce.
