GOP Presidential Candidates Should Be Ashamed About Family Size

It was appalling to hear the Republican presidential candidates beaming about the sizes of their families in the debate the other night. Overpopulation is causing our planet to be pushed past the limits of sustainability. Our oceans are overfished and dying. Our air is polluted and causing climate change. We are depleting our aquifers and polluting our water supply. Our forests are being destroyed for farmland as we destroy the earth's biodiversity. One in seven inhabitants of planet earth are without adequate food. A large family is no longer a source of pride but a sign of ignorance and selfishness and a cause for shame.
