that you got it from your kids (couldn't resist)

I know people older than I am, my age, younger, who for whatever reason, are childless. Nonetheless, as professionals in a wide range of occupations, they have each contributed and improved countless lives. Not selfish, not insane.

Should nuns and priests have children? Are they crazy because they don't? By this jerk's crazytown ideas, adoption is out, so infertile people do what? Get culled from the herd? The thing is, we are not herd animals. We are humans, each with a gift. Whether we have children or not, we either enhance the human experience, or we each add something to humanity that wasn't there before we existed as born humans.

They all had kids and the kindest work might be dysfunctional. They all had kids, his grandparents at 13 and 16.

Also note the Democrats singled out as "childless", Harris has stepkids and what appears to be a great marriage, Pete has 2 children and has a great marriage, and AOC is a very accomplished 34 year old professional, who is engaged. I guess waiting to find the right man and marrying before having a child is no longer what conservatives consider good? Compare that to the mess of a family that produced Vance.

Dennis Rader:

Also known as BTK, Rader expressed concern for his children when he was arrested in 2005, saying he wanted to protect them from further harm. However, his daughter Kerri Rawson later questioned what she thought she knew about him after he described his family as "pawns" in his criminal schemes.


Joseph Kallinger:

Kallinger killed one of his sons for insurance money and involved others in his crimes.


Israel Keyes:

After Keyes was arrested for murdering a young woman in Alaska, he wanted to make a deal to protect his daughter from being linked to a double homicide.


Keith Jesperson, also known as the "Happy Face Killer"

Gary Ridgway, also known as the "Green River Killer"


The list goes on and on.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/women-happy-children-spouse-partner-relationship-unmarried-a8931816.html

Women who are not married and do not have children are the happiest group in the population, a prominent expert in happiness has said.

Paul Dolan, a professor of behavioural science at the London School of Economics, said unmarried and childless women are also likely to outlive their married child-rearing counterparts and are healthier than them.


He said: “You see a single woman of 40, who has never had children – ‘Bless, that’s a shame, isn’t it? Maybe one day you’ll meet the right guy and that’ll change.’ No, maybe she’ll meet the wrong guy and that’ll change. Maybe she’ll meet a guy who makes her less happy and healthy, and die sooner.


Mr Dolan said that having children can be harmful to people’s wellbeing – saying many parents might secretly agree with a famous academic colleague who “said that he liked the existence of his children but not their presence”.
“It would be categorically awful if anything happened to them, but the experiences we have with children are largely miserable,” he added.

Best response to this childless bull shit.
Vance said Childless people have no physical tie to the future.
Pete said while he served in the war zone in the Middle East, and explosive ordinance was throwing shrapnel All around him, he had a physical tie to America’s future.
So did all the 18 years olds serving in Vietnam. Most not even married much less had children.
And that applies to the majority of new enlisted into our military. Most have no kids or wives yet. And every damn one offers a physical tie to our future. Fuck John Donald Vance!!!
