The idea wasn't to bring you to life. You are just a byproduct of the process of having sex.

Condoms? Hormone pill? IUD? internal/female condom? hormone patch? Cervical cap?
Have you ever heard of any protection/contraception with 100% efficiency?
Have you heard of abortion?
Have you heard it's not always the case? Single moms who got dumped after pregnancy, inaccessibility of abortions or protections, dumb kids got caught in the heat of moment and skip protections etc? Do you think every birth is planned by the couple?
Ah, you're American
uff
No, I am not. I don't even belong to any Western country.
Wait where are you then that there is no such proper healthcare available?
I didn't say there is not proper healthcare. I said couples might not be able to access it. Either it's banned or it's expensive. Also it's not about abortion though. Couples might have just wanted to have sex but might have kept the baby, doesn't matter. It's not always "let's have a baby".
Abortion is part of proper healthcare. As is affordability. If that's not there, then that's a lack of proper healthcare
I don't think the main point of this discussion is how to define "proper healthcare". Humans do not always think "let's have a baby and grow our family". No, they mostly just have sex and keep the baby in case of pregnancy, sometimes involuntarily.
Having the tools to abort pregnancy, prevent it, and know what you're doing is part of good healthcare. If this really is a major problem somewhere, then that place does not have proper healthcare available.
There are plenty of countries where this is already the case, most of them in Europe.
Yes, we can continue to discuss about accessibility of abortion tools but that is not my point. Couples or individuals may still decide to keep the baby after pregnancy happened, even though they did not plan for it or they don't have enough money to raise a kid. They just have sex and baby comes a surprise. This happens a lot more than you could imagine.
How did they manage to not know how they should take pregnancy tests and such?
But if they end up choosing to keep it, then that's not the issue here. Nine months is quite a while to figure out plans in
Just like how there are people who intentionally avoid having children, there are people who intentionally have children.
And there are who intentionally avoid but still ending up having and there are who intentionally planning to have but cannot.
Sally Amaki is always big mood but is always right.
no way a nananiji idolposting on lemmy 😳😳
Each generation back from yours has a higher chance of not having their genetic lineage ended by you not procreating. Most people will have siblings so won't even be the end of their parents lineage, even less will be the end of their grandparents, I'd be surprised if there was anyone that could end the lineage of their great grand parents. Depending on your circumstances I'd say the only ancestors you have to worry about disappointing in a genetic propagation sense are your parents, and that's only if you have no siblings.

This is only true if you don’t follow the female branches on the family tree.
