Every female of child bearing age in my extended family had decided no more children or none at all.

Not long ago kin in Texas had to flee to California to avoid death when her pregnancy went south last trimester. They had to sell their home and move to a different suburb because some MAGA nut wanted to cash in on her "crime" of surviving.

The whole ordeal was a life lesson to her cousins and friends who do not want to take any chances.
