Yeah I am not going to bring someone into the world just for them to suffer from things we have known would happen for a long time but refused to do anything about. If I want kids I will adopt someone who is already here.

Can't all y'all think about the economy!!! We need more workers to make stuff and then buy stuff. Shareholder value could be affected. Don't ask what your overload can do for you but what you can do for the overloads.

I got my vasectomy a few weeks ago. No way am I bringing life into this fucking shit show

I did it because I didn't want my wife being forced to carry a baby she didn't want, or dying because a doctor isn't allowed to properly treat a miscarriage.

Most of what people say is rationalization after the fact.
