When faced with a future for children that is less than ideal, not having them makes a lot of sense. And yet it’s viewed as somehow sacrosanct.

“Stop killing our children”? Why would you have them in the first place when they aren’t likely to have an enjoyable life?

Having kids is not a need, and it certainly isn’t some odd “that’s what organisms do” thing even more insulting than suggesting that’s what people do.

Bluntly: Kids you don’t have can’t die. The easiest way to ensure your kids don’t have bad outcomes is not having them.

Don’t have kids in a world that doesn’t want them. That’s true in Palestine, the U.S., and literally everywhere else.

    You point out the nuance quite well. Regardless of whether I think having kids is good, forbidding people from doing so is at best eugenics and at worst genocide (not that there’s a lot of air between the two).
