I agree that family planning is a great thing to promote, but I will not sign a petition like this. I will say that I would not be here today had my paternal grandmother not given birth to 13 children, my father being the last of those. My maternal grandmother had 8 children, my mother being the last. I realize that that was back in the day when most children grew up on a farm, and their extra hands kept things going. I had 3 children of my own, and you couldn't pay me to have another even if I could, but I've been given 5 grandbabies that I cherish. It gives me chills to think that humanity would be prevented from the joy that children bring to our lives because some group believes that "their" planet is being destroyed because children are being born. This earth is our home, but it is not ours to pick and choose which souls, or how many of them, are permitted to inhabit this land.
