Estamos salvando nossos filhos desta terra, que está cheia de perigos, e ao mesmo tempo estamos salvando a terra da maldade dos humanos Ninguém pode prever o futuro de seu filho e ninguém tem garantias de que seu filho não será mau, um bandido e uma fraude no futuro.

o futuro de todos sempre será a morte, e a procriação da vida pra morte!

everyone's future will always be death, and the procreation of life for death!

Just a heads-up that if you're in the US and you never want to be pregnant, sterilization surgeries are currently 100% covered by insurance policies that are compliant to the Affordable Care Act. They are considered preventative care. Bilateral salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tubes) is essentially 100% effective at preventing pregnancy, and it otherwise doesn't mess with your hormones. It also reduces rates of ovarian cancer by around 80%. This surgery is usually done laparoscopically and the recovery isn't too difficult. I had my surgery on a Thursday and went back to my desk job on Monday.

Bilateral salpingectomy doesn't affect periods, but I also had an endometrial ablation around a decade ago and it got rid of my periods. It can be done at at the same time as bilateral salpingectomy. People have mixed experiences with this, so do your research and talk to a doctor about it, but it may get rid of your period or at least make them much lighter/more tolerable.

If you're interested in sterilization, I would recommend having it done sooner rather than later, as I imagine conservatives are going to go after the Affordable Care Act as soon as they can (I have read that it's funded through the end of this year, but take that with a grain of salt), and sterilization may become a target in and of itself as well.

There's tons more detailed information at r/Sterilization, including a list of doctors who will sterilize people without children/younger people. I highly recommend reading up more there! Just wanted to give a PSA that sterilization is something you can do, it's currently free*, it's not too intense of a recovery process, and it's extremely effective. I'm elated I got it done and I want to empower other people to get it done if it'll give you peace of mind.

*Be careful and do your research first of course, insurance companies love trying to screw people out of their money, but it should be completely free if you're using providers that are in-network. Be sure to read about insurance coding, as it can affect what is/isn't covered. Also endometrial ablation might not be covered, so read up on that if you want to go that route as well.

How come we don't tell people who want children that they might change their mind later?

A single question to drill holes into the pro-choice movement.

Not clickbait.

If you think women (or "pregnant people", for the ones who also support the trans cult) should have the "right" because of bodily autonomy, do you think it should be legal to not breastfeed your child? Is it acceptable to starve your infant to death as he/she would be depending on you (on your body, specifically) for survival? Let's say that there's no formula available in this case & breastfeeding is the only option.

Now, most of them would avoid answering the direct question & come up with excuses.

She's legally obligated to take care of the child after it's born, so yes.

Legality doesn't always dictate morality, so this argument is bullshit. Slavery was legal once.

2. But we are talking about an infant, not a fetus.

This is specifically only addressing the bodily autonomy argument & not about personhood or whatever. If you have bodily autonomy, it should apply even if it's an infant. If it doesn't, then you are actually agreeing that bodily autonomy can be limited under some circumstances.

3. Pregnancy is more burdensome:

So it's about burden? You can kill someone if they are "more" of a burden to you, is that it? If pregnancy were painless, would you be against abortion in that case? And again, you are agreeing that bodily autonomy can be limited by saying it doesn't apply when it's less of a burden.

4. Try to deflect the topic and talk about something else.

Get back on track & answer the direct question.

Or they can bite the bullet and say "Yes, it should be legal for women to starve their infants to death." At this point you can just walk away from the person because they are clearly a psychopath.

But, yes, please answer this question. I look forward to all the logical pro-choice answers.

Spoiler: you won't have one.

i dont care if the world ended tomorrow bc me and other ppl r choosing not to have children, especially when i see how women and mothers r treated and how much it's always the women who carry the most burden and always get blamed if they dont keep up.

let it be, if it ends, it ends, it's abt time that we clean this world from its shit anyway.

"it'd be so unfair and unethical of me to bring a child into this evil dying world" said jessica from the suburbs of maine

listen if you don't personally want kids that's cool that's fair that's totally fine and no ifs and about about that but please miss me with the ideological anti-natalism like

our ancestors and contemporaries have chosen to persist and believe in humanity in the face of chattel slavery and famine and genocide and abject poverty so stop condemning procreation there is really no justifiable reason to say "hey let's totally give up on the world"

Friendly reminder that if your life is fucked up, having a kid will not fix it

Nossos pais não foram obrigados a justificar a nossa existência. Não deveríamos ser obrigados a justificar nossa extinção. O suicídio deveria ser pelo menos um direito fundamental tanto quanto a procriação. #righttodie #antinatalism #suicidepreventionisslavery

y’all said “if you can’t feed ‘em don’t breed ‘em 😡” and so we went “okay! ✨” and now people are complaining about the birth rate being so low like i am b e g g i n g you people to pick a lane 💀

[italianpawg]

not to be a perpetual debbie downer but i feel like people who decide to have kids in young adulthood (early/mid 20s) often neglect to realize that your mid 20s is a very common time for developing severe mental (and physical) illnesses; for example psychotic disorders, bipolar depression, schizophrenia, cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer and autoimmune conditions, and a whole barage of other unpleasant shit that could disable you or permanently affect the quality of your life going forward. it often doesn't start wreaking havoc until after the 'college years'. so. maybe wait it out and consider what you're getting yourself and your hypothetical family into before that shit hits you full steam and you have three toddlers to take care of

Why am I starting to hate babies/young kids out of nowhere ?? For the past few weeks every time I see a baby or a young kid I’m like “ugh a child.” I never used to be like this before & I feel like a bad person.

Might have something to do with the fact that kids are always screaming and running wild in the restaurant I work at ?? And their parents never do anything about it.

Deadass had these kids playing TAG in the LOBBY.

Also had this kid screeching at the top of his lungs repeatedly until he got what he wanted.

And I get kids that go “mommy mommy mommy look mommy mommy mommy” while their mom is trying to order food. I can hardly hear the order over them.

I know this bad behavior is the fault of the parents but lately I’ve just been so annoyed by kids.
