We commend the Duke and Duchess for taking this enlightened decision, and for affirming that a smaller family is also a happy family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On a separate section of its website, the population control group argues that every human puts \u201cpressure on the natural world, consumes the Earth\u2019s finite resources and contributes to climate change.\u201d It argues that one of the most effective ways to \u201chelp our planet\u201d is having a smaller family.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement was met with mixed reactions, with some wondering what the Sussexes will do if they should accidentally become pregnant again. &nbsp;\u201cI have a question,\u201d scientist and pro-life activist Obianuju Ekeocha <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/obianuju\/status\/1414402818593759233?s=20\">tweeted<\/a>, \u2026 what if she becomes pregnant again? I mean contraceptives do fail from time to time. Will they resort to aborting the Queen\u2019s grandchild? This is absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ricochet editor Bethany Mandel took aim at the prize itself, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bethanyshondark\/status\/1414049353816285185?s=20\">quipping<\/a>, \u201cOrwell called and would like the idea for this award back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some left-wing environmentalists sneered at the honor as well. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, this is just gross,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brittwray\/status\/1414227682448007178?s=20\">said<\/a> Stanford planetary health fellow, Dr. Britt Wray. \u201cHarry and Megan were given an award for deciding to only have 2 kids for eco reasons? How about you give an award to all the concerned ppl of childbearing age who are in serious agony deciding whether they can even have 1.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to the Sussexes, Prince William and Duchess Kate already have three children \u2014 Prince George (age 7), Princess Charlotte (age 6), and Prince Louis (age 3). There have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-moms\/news\/duchess-kate-prince-william-are-on-the-same-page-about-4th-baby\/\">rumors<\/a> that they are hoping for a fourth.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
