The "Burden" of Children. . .

See Jill Stanek today on a press release from the European Union’s Commissioner of Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities:

Placing the burden of having more children, working more and caring for the growing number of elderly at the door of women is neither practical nor fair – requiring therefore new policies, mentalities and attitudes to confront the EU’s demographic challenges.

The over/anti-population gurus at the EU face a neat challenge. . . not enough kids! So they are carefully crafting a new message:

Hey ladies. . .Have more of those burdensome brats.
