Unless they are Mennonites, in which case they strive to crank out as many babies as is possible. That is why Mennonite communities have an annual population increase of between 5%-6%, which means their communities double in size approximately every twelve years. As they often choose to live in what should be considered environmentally sensitive areas, their exploding populations impose severe environmental pressures, often culminating in ecocide. They are a significant driving force in global deforestation, aquifer depletion, and expanding desertification.
As if this weren't enough, they are assertive in imposing their 'moral' choices upon others. Lest folks have forgotten, Mennonites were co-plaintiffs in the infamous Hobby Lobby challenge against the ACA provisions granting choice alternatives to insurees.
