You barely even read what I said.
We debated a very long time before having either of our children.
We made very deliberate choices, and do the best we can for our babies.
Unless we have some God-given special ability that lets us see the future, we don't know what is yet to pass. I myself am a new father, so I get where you're coming from. My boys mean everything to me, and can have anything that is of mine. If I were to give in to my darkest perception of the world, I would have been committed. As I believe most of us would be too. However, I refuse to live my life thinking that X days into the future, this planet will be unlivable. With the same ideology, many in the past, would've seen first hand the short life expectancy of their kids and would have thought to themselves "why should I bring another into the world?".
I should premise this by saying I am pro choice. However, I believe it is the person's choice to decide if they want to bring someone into the world, knowing that that person is their responsibility through their infancy and young adult adulthood. Regardless of what planet they are handed, life is still worth living. I repeat, life is still worth living.
So I ask, are you a fortuneteller @I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world to tell off @HunterFett?
