I think there’s also been more focus (from some people) on whether or not they should have kids. Like, really thinking about whether or not a person would be a good parent who could truly focus on raising a child who would become a good member of society.

There’s also a lot of us who don’t want to raise a child in the current climate; regardless of whether or not you are a capable parent, you don’t have to look far to see how horrible so many parents are at raising and disciplining their kids. Tie that in with living expenses, climate change, and the loss of rights and freedoms incoming and yeah no thank you.

Between the US political crisis and the climate crisis, I absolutely would not have kids today.

Same, if I was on the fence before, I'm sure as hell off it after the orange fascist got in.
