I know this is going to sound really harsh, and I know that there are people who will disagree with me, but I very firmly believe that in this day and age, with the number of children out there who desperately need good homes, it is downright unethical for people to have eighteen natural-born children. If every child is a blessing, why can't you go adopt a dozen or so who already exist?

Philosophically, I want to agree with you- I really, really do. I just keep coming back to anger about the number of children who, for whatever reason, don't have a home- in a country where conservatives constantly rail against abortion, so many times the same people will not give proper care to those children who already exist. I'm aware this is an emotional reaction. I'm not sure how to reconcile that with philosophy.
