I definitely support women’s rights and will always believe in their unfettered right to decide their own reproductive choices. I was worried when I first read this, however. If the only people having children are the fascists and their enablers, I fear the future will be even more bleak than the present. That said, this story does seem to indicate the movement is more based around not having children with Trump voters which I find completely reasonable.

The future is going to be pretty bleak with 10 billion people on the planet, too.

Not sure what rock you’ve been under but global population is projected to peak at 10.3 billion in the 2080s.

With an already functionally illiterate population. We’re soooo much closer to that than you think.

I’m 51, and I’ve never been so happy not to have kids in my life.

The fun part is that this the foundation “Idiocracy” built its world on.

That’s totally erasing the born children’s ability to think critically. Loads of children from that environment grow up to leave it for the left. Speaking from experience

That’s great and absolutely does happen, but it’s the exception not the rule

Women don’t want to subject their children to this world. My cousin teared up the other day because she feels so bad she had kids 10 years ago and the future is so bleak. You all do not understand us at all, do you? Climate change, anyone? Why would I birth a baby that will just drown to death in a flood?

I can understand that view, I just don’t agree with it. If we don’t believe in trying to working for a better future, no matter how bad it’s looking (holy shit is it bad rn), then I feel like we might as well line up like lemmings and walk the plank.

Women have been doing the majority of the work for a better future. Men have been creating wars and destroying progress.
