HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s father swept into Lawrence, Kansas, 57 years ago this month to give a campaign speech.

DEAR HARRIETTE: My husband and I have been blessed with five children. When we got married, we didn’t plan for this many. We’ve decided that we are happy with our family size as is and do not want to have any more children.

I don’t know how to feel about him wanting to make changes to my body without making the same sacrifice to his own. – No More Babies DEAR NO MORE BABIES: Your husband is being unfair. One way to get him to pay attention to your request is to draw a line in the sand: No more sex until you both have undergone the procedures. This will get him to take you seriously.
