I remember a time when Zero Population Growth was gaining wide acceptance as being a good idea. Now, you never even hear it mentioned in the mainstream media. A few years ago there was a similar story to this ,only it was 7 babies born to a couple, and the media coverage was all sweetness and light. The word miracle was even bandied about loosely. The community (somewhere in Kansas or Iowa I think) all rallied, with a new job for the husband, a new house for the family, food, supplies, etc. rolling in.
   I personally, was just as outraged by that story as I am this one, but felt the voice in the wilderness as there was not one other negative feeling about it anywhere. Imagine the carbon fotprint of a family of 10, 11, 12 or more. Now that the media has turned about face on this issue I hope it is not only the fact of her being unmarried that is fueling their outrage, but a recognition of the other issues as well.
