I really do get the sentiment, but I also think about my grandparents who grew up during the great depression and then fought WWII, or really all the incredibly shitty times to be alive throughout history

What's with the whataboutism? Just because our ancestors acted imorrally doesn't make it OK to do the same

Putting current events in historical context is not even remotely "whataboutism." And it sounds like you're saying your ancestors acted immorally for having children, which may be arguable...

I'm saying they acted immorally if they willingly conceived a child during a World War or the great depression
