Nice to meet you, superiorslots! We too have chosen not to have kids. We simply don't have the desire to have kids.
I can't believe that people here are so quick to call childfree couples "selfish." Some women don't have the desire to pursue a career, but no one calls them "selfish" for not having a career. Some people choose not to have pets, but no one calls them "selfish" for not having pets.
It's really quite simple. If you have no interest in raising children, then it's best not to have them. The ONLY good reason to have children is because you really want them. Not because you want someone to visit you in the nursing home. Not because it's what everyone else is doing. Not because you want grandkids.
We are not liberal, and I am not a feminist.
Face it, just because some of you find joy in having kids doesn't mean someone else will find it a joyful experience. And having kids doesn't make you any better than people who don't have kids.
The purpose of Mr. Wolf in writing this article is to equate the couple who DECIDES to not have children with the homosexual marriage which can never produce a child.
This tempest in a teapot is what homoadvocate Wolf wants. There is a very big difference between a man and a woman who make a conscious decision not to have a child within a marriage vs a homosexual couple which will never produce a child together.
A married normal couple deciding not to have a child still promotes the institution of marriage vs the sodomite couple which is seeking to base a marriage on mere fetish based orgasm.
a simple search of Mr. Wolf past articles establishes this propaganda.
I see no reason to condem the couple who decides to have no children any more than I would condemn the couple that has one child instead of twenty children.
We should be focusing on keeping marriage as the institution where this decision shall continue to exist. We must oppose any American Bar Association efforts to remove the child/no child issue from marriage as an insititution.
