children are an ecological catastrophe and bringing them kicking and screaming into a world of horrors without their consent is preventable with even the smallest foresight. having children is far worse than drunk driving.

Why do you say "consent"? A child let alone a baby or fetus can not consent.

Ok so abortion should be illegal because the child did not consent to being murdered. They should be born and allowed to make the choice of life right?

What if the kid is born and then immediately commits suicide? Abortion fixes this by killing the child before they have a chance to commit this heinous act and is therefore morally good much like childbirth which is also morally good.

  • PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO JUST COME OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE

  • YEARS OF PRO-CREATING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for new people who can't even STAND UP

  • Want more labor on your farm? We already have a thing for that: it's called "HORSES"

A man, being born, is a debt; by his own self he is born to Death, and only when he sacrifices does he redeem himself from Death.

Sacrifice (and these early commentators were themselves sacrificial priests) is thus called "tribute paid to Death. " Or such was the manner of speaking. In reality, as the priests knew better than anyone, sacrifice was directed to all the gods, not just Death - Death was just the intermediary. Framing things this way, though, did immediately raise the one problem that always comes up, whenever anyone conceives human life through such an idiom.

If our lives are on loan, who would actually wish to repay such a debt ? To live in debt is to be guilty, incomplete. But completion can only mean annihilation.

You can get good at drunk driving but you can never get good at having a kid since kids always suck. Drunk driving is holy and people who do it are closer to god than a kid haver will ever be.
