UK Vogue ripped for Asking if Having Babies is "Environmental Vandalism"
Newsmax ^ | April 29, 2021 | Theodore Bunker

British Vogue is being lambasted after the magazine published an article asking if having a baby in 2021 is "pure environmental vandalism" due to the resources a child consumes.

"Before I got pregnant, I worried feverishly about the strain on the earth’s resources that another Western child would add," writes Nell Frizzell, author of "The Panic Years." "The food he ate, the nappies he wore, the electricity he would use; before he’d even started sitting up, my child would have already contributed far more to climate change than his counterpart in, say, Kerala or South Sudan."

She adds: "I also worried about the sort of world that I would bring my child into – where we have perhaps just another 60 harvests left before our overworked soil gives out and we are running out of fresh water. Could I really have a baby, knowing that by the time he was my father’s age, he may be living on a dry and barren earth?"

What I don’t understand is that if these people think there are too many people on this earth, they don’t start with themselves? 🔫

I saw 2 CRAAAAZY women (many in Hawaii??) telling women to abort because there were too may people and I thought, 💡 YOU ARE OLD AND NOT CONTRIBUTING WHEREAS A CHILD CAN GROW UP AND WILL CONTRIBUTE FOR MAYBE 40-50 YEARS!!! SO START WITH YOURSELVES!!!

Am I wrong...?

Well, we already knew that these lefties are idiots. It’s nice to have more proof but really not necessary. It gets depressing after a while, seeing so many mindless gullible fools.

You are absolutely correct. All who believe the planet is overpopulated should commit suicide immediately. They can be remembered as saviors. Yes, that’s what to tell them.

Years ago The Economist had an article discussing this. This was before The Economist got woke.

I recall how years ago the Economist did a piece on abortion and stated ProLife views should be banned from the discussion.

It’s like the billionaire corporatists who lied to Congress to get cheaper salaried employees And then proclaim that you don’t pay enough in taxes

Suicidal liberalism: We’re so overpopulated that we need to import millions of colonists from foreign countries.

Unfortunately, The economist lost its way. I used to read it cover to cover. The book review section was the first to go full leftist. Slowly, the creeps took over all of the sections.

The National Review is following the same trajectory.

“The National Review is following the same trajectory.”

Ironic, seeing as how NR was pointing it out while it was happening to The Economist. O’Sullivan’s Law at work.

‘another Western child would add’

Give me a break snowflake!

You’d have a brain hemorrhage if you knew how many African, Arab or Asian children were born daily.
