Nope. It's because people can't afford them. Housing crisis coupled with economic depression means nobody can afford children.

I have never once heard people say that Islamists should be given a platform, be debated in the marketplace of ideas, or softball interviews and let listeners make up their own minds. These are only ever trotted out for white supremacists.

Catholic Ireland: Imprisoned and enslaved women. Kidnapped and sold children. Raped children and covered it up. Made homosexuality illegal. Stopped women from working.
Modern Ireland: Criticises a person for attending racist conference.
Genius editor: These things are the same.
Now, repeat after me: in the new Ireland all must think, act and speak alike. It’s the same herd mentality as the 1950s - the po-faced mob has just changed direction.

Extreme left: "Free healthcare and free education"
Extreme right: "One must have an ethnostate"
Wise centrist: "These are the same".
Absolutely agree with this. Serious current affairs shows must stop giving time to extremists on the left & right, or from any mad fringe group, just to get a viral moment or cos they demand to be on. Big twitter followings & being mad/ranty doesn’t make you a legitimate voice.

It’s all part of the overall social, cultural and political situation we’re in. Ignorance, some of it deliberate, the whole denigration of expertise. Media has many flaws of course, like all things in life, but is particularly vulnerable to the cynicism that has taken hold.

What Catholics have been offended by: LGBT people, women's rights, condoms, tampons.
Why people are offended by Catholic Church: mass child rape, kidnapping and selling of children, homophobia, sexism, slavery of women.
Judging by Irish Twitter, a lot of people are already feeling triggered by the visit of Pope Francis. We’ll have to look at setting up some safe spaces for the easily offended.

See this is a perfect example of what many believe free speech is. Free speech is freedom to say what you want. Freedom of speech is not freedom to say something without criticism.
