People have had kids through bad times all throughout history, that’s why we still have the human population.

U r so indoctrinated it’s not even funny. U mention climate change as a reason not to have children? First of all we’re not hurting the planet at all the only thing we’re doing is changing the conditions of the Earth which affects us not the actual planet. Also it’s not normal ppl who r the problem. One more kid is not going to “kill the planet” it’s the third world countries big corporations and people flying private jets all the time causing these changes u reference. Get a grip

that doesn’t change the fact it’s still irresponsible now, especially as we’re starting to see the effects of climate change (and democratic backsliding). a lot of children were also born because women didn’t have a choice and were forced to have them, so the argument that people have always had kids really doesn’t hold much weight

The argument is not that people have always willingly had babies, it’s that people always have had them period. I’m not saying I feel like it’s a socially responsible thing right now, I’m just saying that people will always have kids despite what’s going on in the world.
