Glad you asked, Pam. The state of Florida, for example, does not allow gays to adopt children. There are only what, one or two states that allow them to marry? You stated
Last I checked we had freedom to do as we please here in this country and that includes having large families if we want.
Simply not true. If the state can regulate whether a gay couple can adopt a child...how can you say we are free to do whatever we want in regard to family structure?

Yes, I am harmed and yes I care. Unless this family does not produce any waste and does not consume any energy and does in any way contribute to the use of natural resources and does not use public roads nor fuel in their four vehicles (including a 20 person van ) ...in which case I am not harmed.

Meanwhile I am paying taxes to dispose of their waste and provide them with public roads, water, etc. They do not pay more because of the size of their family.

I care because, although I do not have children, I have nieces and I have step-children and a step-grandchild. And I want them to be able to live in a world with clean water. And adequate food. And natural resources.

And no, I suppose the Duggars don't care about my opinion. As I don't care about the Duggars opinion of me.

But I do care about the state of the planet that will be inherited by the 289 grandchildren (if each of the 17 children has 17 children) and 4,913 great-granchildren (if each of those grandchildren has 17 children) and 83,521 great-great grandchildren and 1,419,857 great-great-great grandchildren.
