Reply #16: Oh, no I don't mean people who have 3 40-year-old children

I mean people NOW who have not yet reproduced, or who have recently had 6 kids while claiming to be "environmentalists".

I don't want kids for this reason, and because I can't fathom why, now that we don't have to, so many women choose to do that to their bodies. For me, it's just not worth it. If I somehow develop a late-onset maternal instinct, I would try to adopt. Failing that, I would remain without children and volunteer more with groups working on kids' issues.

I understand if some people have an overriding biological desire to have a child; I just don't "get" it.
