- It's not a partisan issue, it's a basic human need Almost everyone wants a family - they just don't know if they can make it happen We want to build a society in which having four kids is attainable, typical, unremarkableomg Kieran Culkin's story in his Oscar speech LOL he said his wife had no faith that he'd ever win an Emmy, so she jokingly promised him a 3rd kid if he won. and last year she said they'd have a 4th if he ever won an Oscar. well, he just won Best Supporting Actor
