A common misattribution. To the best of my knowledge, the original
was from Robert Bloch (author of Psycho), back in the '50s or so.
BTW, a quick WWW search seems to indicate that about 1/3 of the
attributions for this quote are to Bloch, and about 2/3 (sigh) to King.
I recall reading, a few years ago, that King credited Bloch.
(I commented only because I knew him...fastest man with a pun I've ever met.)

Actually, it has. Some people have chosen not to have children because
of the cost.
