Leftist editorial columnist for the Seattle Times feels like sharing why she isn't going to have children. Unsurprisingly, part of her reason is that people are bad for the planet.

[Jet Jaguar]

Good.

We don’t need a buch of little leftist running around with bump helmets and safety floats.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Liberal horse blank. No surprise here.

"Also, not having a child is the most important thing I could do to reduce my carbon footprint"

Why stop there.....why don't you commit suicide and reduce it even further?

[Tzimisce]

....well who’s going to pay for all this massive liberal spending if there are no kids?

[GeronL]

leftists don’t need to breed, they always have your kids to corrupt

[Art in Idaho]

Good. Less LiLs (Low information Liberals).

[Gene Eric]

Darwinism... love it.

I just cannot fathom what life would have been like without children. Without them I would have missed having the opportunity to have, unlike on occasion their parents, my nearly perfect grandchildren.

I cried last Friday. My daughter had me drive her to the obgyn. I got the first look at her twins. At 24 weeks they are viable. God bless her and all of her kids.

Dear Leftist childless lady:

It is totally okay for you to not have kids.

I’ll have them instead.

8 conservative homeschooled children who are writing research papers on redistribution, saving your butt as nurses and paramedics, voting conservative, preaching the gospel of Jesus across the country, babysitting your kids and entirely comfortable around lead-dispensing home protection devices.

They’ll make the kind of neighbors you’ll call when you’re going on a vacation and need someone to watch the house.

"Also, not having a child is the most important thing I could do to reduce my carbon footprint, according to a 2009 study by Oregon State University statisticians. (Of course, like all parents, I believe my theoretical child would have grown up to become a brilliant physicist and saved the world from global warming, so this is a moot point.) ...

I broke the news to my grandmother, mother of six, while visiting her in Hong Kong. “That’s fine,” she said in Cantonese, “if you want to be lazy.” ...

I told my parents in California over Christmas. “Don’t do it if you don’t want to,” my mom said without pause. “You won’t like it.” ...


It’s OK that I didn’t dream of growing up and having a baby. My husband and I can be a family without a kid. The ability to bear a child may be what defines me as female, but I’m still a woman without one...

It is an enormous gift for society to raise an educated, productive, ethical, moral child...


Considering the source, I expect the child more likely would become "relatively" moral.

No individual must be fruitful. You can be a monk or dedicate yourself to expanding the frontiers of knowledge, or something. Too many giants of higher culture, in the fields of art, science, philosophy, politics, religion, etc. were childless to mention. We could also mention the families of geniuses, like the Bachs or Bernoullis, and be thankful they multiplied, but nevermind.

No particular member of civilization matters, unless he just so happens to be Jesus or someone similarly indispensable, which obviously is unlikely. What matters is what regular people do, and such barrenness in general would kill American civilization.

Bourbon bootprint?

[P-Marlowe]

Good. Let’s hope all liberals take this path. Lets encourage them all to get out of the gene pool.

[hinckley buzzard]

Excellent news. Two mentally deranged liberal weenies who will not be reproducing. Give them a pat on the back, and tell their friends.

That thar is pretty funny and on that note, I'm going to bed.

[JRandomFreeper]

December 2009, doing the mountain man thing, I wound up hurt pretty badly. 2 weeks worth of ICU later... my child picked my up at the ABQ hospital and took me to my child in Ft. Worth where I stayed for a while because I couldn't get out of bed by myself.

Children are a blessing, even if you occasionally want to strangle them. Daughters are a special blessing, for their caring abilities. My brother lamented to me after I was injured that he only had sons. ;)

Shame on all of us here for not supporting this woman and this wonderful thought!

Now, if we can just convince all the whack-job-libs of this, we would be on the right track.

do I really need a sarchasim tag?
