to discuss news and stuff of the old world dying
I have three children born under obama. That their formative years were under trump was a difficult pill to swallow, but they were young. Now all three will become teenagers during this fucking nightmare.
I’m so pissed off, my job is so much harder now you fuckers.
“No”
Why should I bring a kid into this fucked up world that’s getting more idiocracy by the day
What makes me quite anxious is this:
Where does this end? The smarter,.more responsible people voluntarily genocide themselves,. leaving the world to idiots?
If you're a good person, maybe you have a responsibility to have more children, to make the world a better place in the future.
I'd sue for wrongful life /s
As long as you aren’t one of the 17-40% of miscarriages (depending on your mom’s age).
If you’re a bit more unlucky, and in an adoration ban state, you might take your erstwhile mom out too!
The most annoying thing is all the awful spelling and lack of punctuation I've seen on all the major platforms in recent years. None of today's kids can spell for shit. This is what happens when you're raised by a tablet.
Einstein predicted this too
Go beyond, and beware the common regurgitated talking points, if you care for human rights, a better tomorrow and world liberated from authoritarianism, heirarchal domination, state class and money:

It is a great injustice that the poor are denied the resources and means to start families. I extend that to non-traditional families, even beyond those that involve birth. Adoption I am told is incredibly difficult. As a trans woman with many chosen family who need to escape hostile situations, we are, as a big queer diaspora, in our own way denied generational wealth and greatly inhibited in the means of persisting our culture.
This is a topic that leftists should not cede ground on, certainly not so easily as is common
The answer is no it's not safe, but I fear they might not even have a choice.

Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.
Not a daughter for sure
Undergoing pregnancy and childbirth, regardless of the baby's gender, just got much more dangerous. In the country that already has the highest maternal mortality rate of all "developed" nations.
Developed nations have healthcare systems. The US does not.
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
And there were birth rate dips during those times. WWII only caused a baby boom because it ended and all those soldiers came back horny as hell.
The Great Depression caused a massive drop in Birth rates that took years to recover from, and WWII saw big fluctuations in birth rates until it was over.
This hesitation is normal, people don’t want to have kids when the future is uncertain.
Where has all that gotten us though? In the interim we've made the world less habitable yet more expensive to live in. I don't want to raise kids just to watch them struggle to make ends meet (as I also struggle to make ends meet)
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...
And it sounds like you're saying your ancestors acted immorally for having children
I'm saying they acted immorally if they willingly conceived a child during a World War or the great depression
