Hi. Conservatives sure want Americans to have more children, but they don't seem to like children at all or want to support them in society! In today's episode, we look at the many challenges Americans face if they want to become parents, and the questions one has to answer to make such a decision.

Love your show, agree with 95% of what you do. Agreed with that much of the arguments from this episode. When someone uses the "quiverfull" argument to have tons of kids and uses that as a weapon and you call it a bad thing to do that, thats great, I agree you shouldn't do that. But to make a claim that other cultures can't/won't/aren't doing that, that's short-sighted if you used it in an argument againt our USA culture. It can still be used as a weapon even if its wrong for people in our cultures to use it.

In no way am I going to defend anything that the US does regarding children/childbirth/schooling/bootstrapping. However, pointing to Finland's progressive policies in birthing as something that the US should emulate in an effort to combat our own population decline sort of rings hollow when you realize that Finland's birthrate is both lower and decreasing more quickly than ours. I think we have to accept that wealthy countries (and wealthy people) are just going to have fewer children, and consider what that's going to mean for the future of the planet.
