I'm so happy to call the policies of the conservative movement anti life. I've always said that liberals are the pro life people. I know. I was a midwife. But one large piece here and also related to pro life is the environmental degradation of the planet. Even people who can easily afford to have children are deciding it's too risky with the massive fires, droughts, hurricanes, heatwaves, etc. Thoughtful people realize that humanity isn't smart and loving enough to support the massive growth in population we've had in the last 250 years. Maybe it's good we are slowing down. It will hurt those on the frontlines financially but maybe it can save life on earth. Just maybe.
Yeah, *if* I wind up with a grandchild I'll count myself lucky. I had 3 kids. Only one is considering the far-off possibility (all of them are grown) of having a single child & I've made my peace with it.
I'd REALLY been looking forward to being like my own beloved late Grandma. A lot. But this world isn't the same.
