We just would stop having them because life is terrible and life is hard and it's suffering.

And bringing children in the world is a terrible thing, especially, she said, the most, this is a famous quote of hers, the most kind thing a large family can do to one of its young members is to kill it.

And her whole shtick was sold on lies.

She told lies about her mother.

She said that her mother died from overbreeding, that she had so many children, it just destroyed her body and she died.

Not true.

Her mom had tuberculosis and died from tuberculosis like half of everyone back then.

So she lied about that.

She told a fake story about a woman named Sadie Sachs who didn't know how she kept getting pregnant and the doctor refused to tell her because...

the bad male doctors just wanted the women to just keep having babies.

So they refused to tell them how that worked, which I went and asked my grandma.

I'm like, grandma, you were around like in this exact time period.

Did you and your mom like not know how babies remain?

She was like, what are you talking about?

Of course we knew that.

In fact, she said after my sister was born, her younger sister was the fourth kid in the family.

The doctor told my parents like,

You guys need to be careful, like time things and like try it because it's, you know, she had some health problems.

He's like, another baby might be risky.

So if you want to avoid that, here's how you avoid that.
