dc.descriptionThis has been a hard book to write, but the dedication really did write itself. When I first set down to tell the story of the population control movement, I realized that it was already a tribute to my parents. After all, I am the youngest of eight children. Just mentioning this fact strikes most people with amazement. When they hear that my parents are Catholic, they seize on it as a simple explanation. In fact, by 1967, the year I was conceived and born, American Catholics were practicing contraception at virtually the same rate as everyone else. My grandmother, who was particularly devout, greeted news of each new child with dismay. When they grew up to make her proud, her son would ask which of her grandchildren she wished had never been born—the only sharp words anyone can remember passing between them.-
