Mother Madness

Unless you've been living on another planet, you know that we have endured an orgy of motherphilia for at least the last two decades.

Movie stars proudly display their baby bumps, and the shiny magazines at the checkout counter never tire of describing the joys of celebrity parenthood.

Bearing and rearing children has come to be seen as life's greatest good. Never mind that there are now enough abandoned children on the planet to make breeding unnecessary.
