A lot of people don't use birth control for religious reasons. They feel that if God is giving them the pregnancies, they're going to have the children. Some feel as though it's interfering with God and nature to use birth control. I've been on birth control for 13 years, I obviously don't feel that way. But, I know several people that do. As long as these kids are all well taken care of, I don't see how it is harmful. The kids and adults I've known that come from large families (and, I'm talking LARGE, like 6 kids or more), have been exceptional people and none of them felt like they missed out on any more than a child from a small family might. All situations have their good and bad points. If this family is just abusing the system and is on welfare, I can see the issue, but, if not, I don't understand what the problem is. If anyone wants to give me more details on why it would be, I'm all ears.
