Comments on: “Quiverfull as God allows” http://gods4suckers.net/archives/2007/08/05/going-forth-and-multiplying-like-rabbits/ Commentary, news, and rants on the evils and stupidity of belief in the big invisible daddy in the sky. Illuminating and watchdogging the widespread attempts to institutionalize the theocratic rule of the US. Making fun of believers everywhere.

My dad was trying to build a house while we lived in a trailer (hey! We were trailer trash!). Kids I played with actually lived a few miles away in an old Civil War era house. They had 15 kids. And I'll bet every one of them grew up as redneck-drunk-pregnant-by-13-racist-inbred-assholes. I don't really know if they were religious, can only guess they were. I was too young to care about such things. But, as gord willed, the house frame blew down one very windy April, and my dad gave up on trying to start over again. So we moved to Manassas, VA, closer to DC, and only marginally less inbred. When in the first and second grade, we lived out in the country of northwestern Virginia.

If I remember correctly then as your education increases the # of average children decreases. Therefore, the opposite must also be true. Using that theory, then we are forced to postulate that these people have less education then their newborn. Thank you, tnskeptic. Now I have this lovely image of a women with her legs spread apart with big ass red floppy shoes sticking out.

Naomi, Weasel, an aunt of mine was one of the youngest of a family of at least ten. When she married my uncle, she had two daughters, the first a couple of years after the wedding, the second a couple of years after the first, both pretty much completely planned - and had her tubes cut (not tied, cut) after giving birth to the second. She was still a very young woman (maybe barely 30 if I recall correctly) and got heavily criticized by our catholic society. Such arguments as what if your husband (older than she) dies; you marry again; and your second husband wants his own children were flung at her on a regular basis. How irresponsible of you to interfere with your god-given fertility! Her response was that she grew up watching her mother age five years every year with a baby at her breast; a second one dandled on her hip; and two or three clinging to her skirts - seemingly all the time. She watched this woman literally fade until she looked 60 when she turned 40, and swore to herself that she would never endure the same fate. Two children, total, was all she ever wanted to give birth to and two children was all she had, and as she tells it, she's never regretted her decision a single instant of her life so far. Her youthful sterilization finally stopped being news and people forgot about it when they moved on to the next "scandal," and now birth control and even more permanent forms like tubal ligation are par for the course in the Dominican Republic.
