I have kids. I love them. They are my hope for the future, and I have never once regretted the decision to have them.
I completely understand why people don't want kids. I wouldn't try to talk anyone into it.

Preach on. Same boat, but just one kid.

Thank you both for being parents. Once the kids are here, they deserve protection and nurturing, not regret.

More liberals should have kids. If the only people who are having kids are conservatives, we shouldn't be surprised when the next generation turns out more conservative than we expect.
I wouldn't try to actively talk people into having kids, though, because that's weird and creepy, and none of my damn business.

I always feel like kids who cannot explore and discover themselves are painted into a corner, and the natural curiosities become forbidden obsessions. That's not to say conservative parents have more gay or trans kids, but that when their kids are gay or trans, it becomes a much larger part of their personality, either in rebellion on in self-loathing. Everybody exists on a spectrum, and nobody is just one thing, but people who pretend the world is binary and demand conformity leave no room for nuance or ambiguity.

We can't outbreed stupid: stupid breeds like rabbits. If that's what our planet is depending on, it's a lost battle from square one. Having a kid just so it can be a footsoldier against a hoard of orcs is cruel as fuck.
