Well, not exactly. I think women in those places would often not have children if they had a CHOICE. It is often because they have no choice, that the families are so destitute. And of course all creatures want to reproduce- the question is really after you have reproduced, do you want to make the best life you can for your offspring? If those families could choose a better life for their children, than the one they have, you think they would make the choice that their child should stay in fetid conditions to keep them company? I suppose some might- but I hope most would not.

I saw this quote somewhere rather odd, and thought I would drag it over here. I really liked it. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction....The chain reaction of evil -- hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars -- must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation. --Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968
