Continuing to increase the world population is absolutely nuts.

    Violation of body autonomy is of the absolute most profound violations and the state has no right to do that. Whether or not people SHOULD have kids is irrelevant; even if they shouldn’t, there exists no acceptable power lever to prevent it.

    It’s also a solution in search of a problem. Human population growth is already slowing and will likely plateau in my lifetime before starting a trend of retreat. Assuming we aren’t all dead by way of the collapsing climate already.

      Real unpopular opinion incoming:

      there is no bigger body autonomy violation than being forced into this world in the first place.

        What about being forced to never come into this world? If we’re debating the autonomy of a nonexistent human then who’s to say that isn’t just as bad?
