Baby Not on Board on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360!


If you were watching CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 on Thursday night, you may have caught a segment titled "Childfree by Choice." My husband and I and two other couples we know were given the chance to tell reporter Randy Kaye about our decision to remain families of two.

After the segment, they had a live debate between Madelyn Cain, author of "The Childless Revolution" and Albert Mohler, who hosts a Christian radio talk show. Mohler's beliefs on the subject are summed up in his article "Deliberate Childlessness: Moral Rebellion With a New Face."

But while I find Mohler's view that every married couple has a moral obligation to have children irresponsible and absurd, I do agree with one point that he made during his CNN debate. He said, "if everyone in society even thought about this for an extended period of time, you know, we would not have any children."

Couldn't have said it better myself!
