It occurs to me that Chelsea Clinton married her boyfriend of something like 10 years yesterday, and they already don't have half a dozen kids.

I'm sure this is because they practiced abstinence.

I'm sure I could do worse.

Look, if someone gets to command 5-figure speaking fees to talk about abstinence while she and her boyfriend rut their way across the grocery checkout magazine rack, ridiculing them is not just a right...it's a moral obligation.

Especially when the family in question is a perennial prop for a politician lots of people want to give the keys to the nuclear arsenal.

"they may have also practiced termination."

I suppose, but in my experience, abortion is pretty damn rare among educated, monogomous-but-not-married people in their 20's (as in, nearly everybody I have been friends with, gone to school with, and worked with at some point in the last decade or so.) Using birth control ain't exactly rocket science.
