Meet the women who won't have babies - because they're not eco friendly

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

I did not dispute that every person consumes. I disputed your equation and claim that it stands no matter the location of the people. And I still do.

On average, 1 person in America consumes more than 10 people in some third world country. Hence it matters where the population growth takes place. If we had the kind of population growth rates of third world nations coupled with our excessive consumption, the planet would be seriously fcuked.

enter more countries ... India ... China ... etc

The ratios - with some variances - remain. Location matters. It's not that hard to understand.

It is easy to understand that a consumer is a consumer (a mouth to feed) ... that is the basic point

That I never disputed. I disputed your claim that consumers are all the same no matter where they may be.

I think it's better that folks like her don't procreate. Imagine the madness down the road...

Actually she already had a life created in her, then killed it.

Yeah, that's the tragic part of the story. I was talking more of her having herself irreversibly sterilized thereafter.

Good idea.

consumers ... are the same the world over ... they consume.

people are consumers and where ever they are located ... they consume.

I didn't say some people were better consumers than others .. that was someone elses comment. I was only commenting that more people = more consumption.

"I didn't like having a termination, but it would have been immoral to give birth to a child that I felt strongly would only be a burden to the world.

Ok.. I am not trying to get into the whole abortion debate, but this statement just dumbfounded me... i really am speechless... she's trying so hard to save the whales that she kills her children...

amen. liberals think in mysterious ways.

Charles! Don't stereoptype. In many ways (most) I am very liberal and very much a Dem. But I am also very pro-life. Of course, this is where people get persnickety with me, because I think abortion is wrong, and I also think capital punishment is wrong

Goodness.*enter sarcasm* how nice of her to save some food and oil, etc for those of us CRAZY people that want children. bravo lady. *exit sarcasm*

i'll try my best not to.

Her body, her decision. Bit out there, no doubt, tho I wonder if that's the only reason she chooses to be childless. It's actually OK not to want kids. Anyway, this line:

"Every year, we also take a nice holiday - we've just come back from South Africa. We feel we can have one long-haul flight a year, as we are vegan and childless, thereby greatly reducing our carbon footprint and combating over-population.

makes me feel that they want their cake and eat it too.

And it's from the Daily Mail and so by definition is not to be trusted in the least.

no you don't

It's so easy to judge someone else when you (anyone in this thread) don't agree with a differing viewpoint.

[Nessa 23]

If everyone were meant to have babies, we would not have abused, neglected and or orphan kids. Some people really are doing humanity a favor by not breeding. Just because one can, does not mean one should.

ditto.
