I know it's not being taken seriousl but still must say it's totally absurd to even bring up something like that. Despite my youth I have a condition that disrupts normal ovulation and makes it somewhat unlikely that I'll be able to conceive and bear a child. Not impossible, but unlikely. So I shouldn't ever marry because I can't pop a kid out? Bullmalarky.
Secondly, why on Earth would we want to encourage increasing the population on this planet when we haven't really figured out where we're going to get the natural resources to continue living our way of life? Also, spiking the population in this country would pave the way for a epidemic that we are (historically speaking) overdue for and who really wants to increase the likelihood of that happening?
Last and not least, a lot of people get married because they're already pregnant, not just because they want to get pregnant. Not that it's unheard of, but there was a lot more to getting married than baby-making the last time I checked.
And another thing (I swear this is actually my last point) this would take women's liberation so far back as turn women once again into baby factories (anyone recall how wonderfully this worked out for Catherine of Aragon or Anne Boleyn?
) and I for one, will not stand for it (regardless of whether or not I call myself a feminist!)
That's my two bits... >
