Why Have Children? Ahem!

In his book, After America, Mark Steyn says of western civilization, "Japan, Germany and Russia are already in population decline. Fifty percent of Japanese women born in the Seventies are childless. Between 1990 and 2000, the percentage of Spanish women childless at the age of thirty almost doubled, from just over 30 percent to just shy of 60 percent. In Sweden, Finland, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, 20 percent of 40-year-old women are childless. In a recent poll, invited to state the 'ideal' number of children, 16.6 percent of Germans answered 'None.'" The answer to the question "Why have children?" is that unless women have children their civilization will disappear. If that is not unsettling to people who live in the UK or the US and those who look to those countries for freedom, it means that the population of those countries that fought to defend freedom against totalitarian leaders will disappear. Along with them will go freedom enjoyed by those who do not care about its loss. These are the people who just want to enjoy the freedoms without having to work for them.
