Just watching the news, and the terrible bombing in Syria. The suffering of those children is unbelievable. But one thing escapes me...the war in Syria has been going on for seven years, so why are people continuing to bring babies into the world when they know that the country is at war and the situation is so unstable? After WW2 , the birth rate in the U.K, and other countries rose dramatically, creating a baby boom. This suggests that people were waiting until the end of the war to bring babies into a safer world. It seems to me that these poor children in the war torn Middle East are born to suffer, and maybe die, just like the others being born in Africa where food is scarce. Seems like the lives of these poor children are cheap.
Making no judgement either way it should be noted that the birth rate in the UK rose substantially during WW2.
