See, I get the feeling that people tend to take somewhat extreme examples like this guy (Darsh) and claim that all conservatives are this way. At the very beginning, I could see his point, but then the things he said just got worse and worse (basically, with each progressive post I began to think that he was younger and younger)... Anyway, I might have originally made a similar argument, but in a very different way.
Re-reading the article, though, it doesn't seem like it's such a bad thing... I think I may have initially jumped to false conclusions--that the mother of the four children was still his wife, in which case I would take serious issue. But it appears this is probably not so (or they would've said wife, not children's mother, right?), and thus it seems particularly noble for him to maintain the responsibility of feeding his offspring, and help out his girlfriend's children, which are not even his to feed.
And it does seem rather silly to expect underpriviledged people in a country with a crumbling economy to just not have sex if they have no access to birth control and condoms. Besides, from the sounds of it, this guy likes children... Doesn't it seem entirely possible that he wanted them? He sounds like a humanitarian if there ever was one.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
