On Childfree-ness.

[conuly]

So, I guess G-d also wanted poor Andrea Yates to kill her kids? After all, He was the one who wanted her knocked up so often when she was going insane from it.

Here, I'll tell you what. You think it's immoral for me not to want kids? You deal with the kids that are already here - get them all fed, and schooled, and clothed, and take in the ones that don't have parents. Once there's no child in dire straits, sick or dying from something preventable, then I'll go get myself pregnant. Promise. Worry about the kids that are here before you worry about the ones that aren't and never were.

Well, that article claims that these selfish childfree people will have to depend on other people's children later down the line, and those children will disappear when more people become childfree. There is no chance of that happening. Logically speaking, the planet is already way overpopulated so if a lot of people didn't have kids, the human race would still be rampant but there would be a huge relief for the the environment.

So you're supposed to have kids just because a book told you to, huh? Well, that same book tells you not to eat eel or insects, and that if you undress a woman when she's on her period you're going to hell.

No, no, no, some kinds of insects are okay to eat (or so says Lore Comics, which I love).
