Showing Original Post only (View all)To Conservatives: I do not want kids, so get over it!!!!! [View all]
I have had it with people putting their nose in the fact that, at almost 35, I don't have kids. Most of them are conservative Christians that seem to think that I am something terrible for not "Giving my husband a child". It is so nice sitting pool side and have Neighbors come up trying to convince me that I should have kids. When did this start becoming such an issue with people, I have no idea. Now I am use to people looking at me odd. I am use to some scrutiny about it by the major religious. But litterly try to do an intervention????
Then I started to see something interesting happening. There is much coming out about how bad the lower births will hurt economically. Latest book on this is "What to Expect When No One's Expecting", by Jonathan V. Last. And it is added to the dumb scare tactics like the one HockeyMom found and posted ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022316728 ) . I see that the anti-choice is moving in a new direction.
So, if my mind is going in the right direction, my want to not have kids with my husband is now not only un-Christian, it is anti-economy. I am expecting soon to be called un-American due to it. What happen to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
Well guess what? I am NOT going to have kids. I will not stop enjoying my husband either. The anti-choice can try whatever they want to push their thinking, but I will not do it! Call me a future wrecker, an anti-American (as if I never heard that before), and try to outlaw whatever you want, it will not happen.
