“The right of the people to keep and bear children shall not be infringed.”

[GliderGuider]

Children can easily be viewed as assault weapons in the mankind's war against nature. Biological weapons of mass destruction, even. After all, people and their actions are what is destroying the planetary biosphere.

Children aren’t simply weapons of course, even when they are used in armies. But they are certainly wanton destructive agents, especially as they age and buy SUVs and houses.

I don’t have any of the pernicious little things, so luckily I have avoided the biologically and culturally programmed sentimentality about them.

I’m half kidding, but only half. In my assessment the planet contains about 1000 times too many people, and 140 million new children each year are obviously the source of our growing population overload.

Those of us who love life have a responsibility not to create too much of it
