Woman aborts child to save the environment

Post Reply New Topic

how ridiculously stupid, "save the environment, abort your children"?

Alright, so we all stop having kids, then what? The world is saved, and the human race is gone. Brilliant, simply brilliant. having kids isn't selfish, people do it for a number of reasons. I had my daughter because I thought I'd make a good parent and I have a lot that I want to pass on to the next generation. I only wanted to have one ((alright maybe two)) kids, and a screwup in my c-section made sure of that. I had planned on adopting too, so at least I know little Rose will have a sibling, even if they aren't 'blood related'.

I don't find having kids to be selfish, but I do find having kid, after kid, after kid to be. The world is getting overpopulated as is, so why are they having twelve children!! If they can't control them, can barely feed and cloth them, and make a living going on TV telling how hard it is to make it work, then why? Have a couple, and leave it at that.

Lastly, if they are soo concerned about this, why don't they say no to sex, or use protection? What's so hard about using a condom and birth control?

I don't have a problem with taking care of the planet, but everyone's acting like this is our life purpose...

The sad thing is, that a one-child per couple policy worldwide is probably the only reasonable chance the world has of avoiding mass extinction. It seems like the numbers for how bad Global Warming is get worse almost by the month. A population of around 2 billion, achievable within a century if people reduce the number of children they have to one per couple, is really the only chance we have. Almost any environmental responsibility you have is wiped out by having children. It's one of those unfortunate truths that no one wants to address because, fundamentally, most people don't think that it's a reasonable request, to limit the size of your family. I would, on the other hand, submit that when we're talking about mass starvation and extinction, any action which would prevent that is a reasonable one.

I don't think that abortion is necessarily the right solution, but sterilisation, sure.

Now those are stupid woman, in my oppinion. A tiny baby pollute the enviroment. Hah! Not like trash, smoke, plastic, toxic waist, gasoline, ect., ect. came to their minds. Plus the billions of people that already egsist. One less baby is not a change. If she doesn't want to have kids, then she shouldn't have had sex. Apparently that concept was hard for her to grasp. Perhaps Vernalli would like to be killed herself? Laying on the floor bleeding and dying with her hand reaching up asking "why did you do that to me". According to her, murder isn't wrong at all. After all, her death is 'saving the planet'.

What if someone has, say, octuplets?

Pfft.

Yay, let's kill babies in the name of the environment!! !

NOT. That woman was just making up a stupid excuse.

So Tree Huggers are Now Baby Killers? That would be horrible.

She needs help.

Yeah, why didn't you think of that BEFORE you had sex, you crazy loon?!

I wonder if she'll retroactively enforce her stance on pregnancy to her own mother's.

Wouldn't killing herself stop her carbon footprint immediately? Of course, though, her body will give off carbon dioxide as she decomposes. But that is going to happen anyways.

Maybe if someone can come up with a way to recycle the human body into bio-fuels...

The thing is, from a dispassionate and technical stand point, she is right. People give off a lot of greenhouse gases just by breathing and farting.

Of course, to abort one's child for (it seems) no other reason than to prevent greenhouse gas emissions show that THEY are the waste of oxygen.

Personally, I do not want children, but for a selfish/selfless reason: I would be annoyed and driven mad by the child, and possibly do something I would regret.

If she really cared about her carbon footprint, she would plant some trees. Actually do something useful instead of pestering a government that won't change like that.
