Sinanju,
I have 4 kids from 3 pregnancies (I'm efficient). With 4 kids, I am definitely in the minority among educated people. All were planned.
Your post leads me to a peculiar contradiction. Birth control is certainly more widely used among educated people. This would tend to cause a reverse "natural selection" in regards to intelligence, wouldn't it? The extreme advances in medical technology would tend to reverse "natural selection" in regards to physical capability. But, longevity is definitely going up. And, many indicators would lead to the belief that each generation is "smarter" than their parents generation.

That said. I just wanted you to know that I am doing my part to populate the western world.
