That's... interesting. Did this person have bad experiences with birth control? Was it just a simple theory? When I think conspiracy theory, the first idea that comes to mind is quick reasoning to justify fears. If one detail makes you uncomfortable, what's to say that the entire situation is alright in the first place?

She'd never had kids so I don't think so, not in that way.

I think she just didn't want to believe a lot of stuff. She also was pretty sure that it was going to be the end of days, she kept talking about upcoming apocalypses that were supposed to occur (but didn't). I mean, I don't think this woman was sane by any stretch of the imagination. Unfortunately she is forever married to the phrase "conspiracy theorists" in my mind. I know some friends who suspect certain conspiracies that I'd never lump with her, but it is my first thought every time.
