Big family = "littering"?

Rutgers University Professor Helen Fisher, of the Center for Human Evolution Studies, appeared on the Joy Behar show a few weeks ago, to talk about women who decide not to have children. She said that in some circles, having more than a few children is called "littering".



The amazing thing about this interview is that throughout the whole interview they talk about women choosing not to have families and some of the reasoning behind it. Then, Joy Behar brings up the point that Italy is not even at replacement level, but none of the panelists see the danger in this. They just banter on and on about "over-population", but a fact that is mentioned during the show goes totally under their radar. Most of Europe is not at replacement level, and the rest of the world is following suit... America isn't far behind.
