As Nazareth's Dan McCafferty sang: "Dream on!"

Ladies and gentlemen, let's get serious. We are in the twenty-first century, and we must put an end to this prudence. Pregnancy for everyone! Although... How is a regular citizen supposed to know about this, if the government is lying to us about aliens? My apologies.

We've already established that aliens do exist. Some of you have known about that, certainly, but you might have been afraid of how others would react. The only thing that's keeping men from enjoying the miracle of nativity is a shift in society and abolishing the stigmatization of inter-species relationships.

This is a very sensitive issue, and we shall not moralize, so the only advice is: if you only want to, go live the moment. Or let yourself be abducted by aliens who will get you pregnant in no time. Perhaps invest in a suitably large telescope.
