Cheaper by the Dozen
seems to create the perfect conservative world, one without "abortion or birth control of any kind".
Read about it, and the other films in this list, here:

And a lot of couples plan to have more than average. Like me i have grown up with 4 siblings (all younger), i'm quite close to them. My nan had 8 kids (eldest is 44, youngest 2 are 28). My bf has 2 siblings and doesn't speak to them.
He would like a big family because he never had one of his own and i would like a big family because i love having a larger than average family.
I would never consider abortion (my bf knows that) under any circumstances (and i mean any, he also knows that).
Big Families are great especially if you have one like mine (besides we're all mad and they'd give rabbits a run for their money. None of the kids in our family have never been not wanted. Granted some are accidents but their parents weren't stopping at one or two. They just came earlier than planned).
I think it's entirely a personal choice. If you end up pregnant and didn't use birth control you should take responsibility for it. Like me and my bf. We would take full responsibility for it. If they aren't prepared for that then they should use birth control.
I know a woman with 7 kids and she's on her 8th now (19, 17, 16, 13, 10, 7, 4 & unborn).
My next door neighbor has 5 kids all girls (oldest is 18, youngest is 6) -

Original poster you do understand that this film was based on actually family that had 12 kids. Though one did die in early childhood. Also not all Republicans are against abortion or birth control just like not all Democrats are for abortion or birth control.

ummmm. They aren't against birth control. Did you watch the beginning of the movie when Kate Baker has her little story after the kids come out from under the blanket on the bed. If they were a very conservative movie they wouldn't be having all that fun and they would be going to church and they would be strict with their kids and stuff. Why would Kate Baker have an abortion if she wanted 12 kids. It's not a movie about how she didn't want 12 kids. She wanted to have 12 kids.

In the movie, it is explained that the couple wanted 8 kids. The 8th kid turned out to be twins, ergo, 8th & 9th. A problem with birth control created the 10th. And a misunderstanding about vasectomies yielded the final set of twins, thus 11th and 12th.

A world where abortions and birth control don't exist? lol Is that what Democrats think these movies look like? Because they focus on a single family with large kids(as if they don't exist), that's how they see this world?(Nevermind every other family has less kids?) Gosh, that'd be funny if it wasn't, sad.

Why is white rice in Chicago laughable?
It sounds like you think that racial groups are evenly distributed in each square mile. Do you realize how that is a ridiculous & stupid assumption? You must be a Democrat.
From downtown to all the way north along the lake, whites compose a large majority. -

I'm not american so this whole republican vs democrat thing sounds like two fanatical religions constantly sniping at each other. But the original poster sounds a bit of a fanatic. Probably an advocate of the Chinese system of birth control with his attitude that anyone who doesn't have an abortion is somehow "wrong". A woman who chooses to not have an abortion is no more inferior to a woman who chooses to have an abortion than a woman who chooses to have an abortion is inferior to one who chooses not to.

This is the dumbest post I've ever seen. Why would she have an abortion if she wanted kids? And they did use birth control Tom got a vasectomy which is a form of birth control. Also, Kate probably used the Pillthere's about a three year difference in between the first three kids so, there you go. I'm assuming they used birth control of some kind.
And since when are Republicans against birth control? I'm a Republican (a very religious one at that) and when I get married next year, I'll be taking birth control pills.
Oh yeahthat just happened. -

No. The perfect conservative world would be one free of the arrogance of smug, know-it-all liberals who hold in utter contempt anyone whose beliefs differ with their own. Perhaps you might try "1984" for a more fulfilling liberal vision of a perfect world.
