    More propaganda so it’s easier to strip women of their autonomy and access to contraception.

    It’s not a crisis that the birth rate is falling.

      I get the feeling people read your comment and didn’t actually understand it so they think you mean the comic is propaganda.

        I also have some dedicated manosphere types that stalk my account frequently. Doesn’t bother me, but thank you for your comment :)

        Everyone should have the choice to have children or not.

        Pushing propaganda that it’s a crisis that the birth rate is falling is to help strip women of their autonomy over when and how many children they have.

        Governments should support families more than they do because it’s the right thing to do and not to force women to have more babies than they want.

        So what does it mean that I’ve held these same beliefs for over 20 years now and didn’t need a comic? What does it mean that my wife holds the same beliefs, and that we’re both pro choice? Am I brainwashed? Have I been for decades now?

        Or have I looked around and known I do not believe there is a moral way for me personally to bring life into this world. Adopt maybe, but not new life.

          Heck, you don’t even have to go into morals. There are so many people who can barely take care of themselves. I wouldn’t entrust them to take care of another human being as well, and certainly not force them to do so.

          As a parent, I will defend your right and choice to not have children every single day. People should only have children if they really want to and have the mental capacity to guide a child to relatively stable adulthood.

            One of those things I don’t get, with all if the news on bad parents, why are we so eager to force people who obviously don’t want a child to have them? Obviously it’s not good for the child or the parent.

            Of course then you realize it’s not about the child or the parent, but the person picketing and screaming and their own personal emotions. They think they are thinking of the children, but it’s much more selfish.
