It's disappointing. This video is, in part, disingenuous. There's some important stuff that they leave out: the desire to prevent people from being born into poverty, the desire to prevent people from being born into suffering of any type, the decline in total fertility rates we're seeing in most of the world, etc. I give thanks every day for my vasectomy.

@waldzrf9875 I watched the whole thing. Thankfully, these days a lot of talk centers on how the best thing that people in rich countries can do to lower their carbon footprint is to have one fewer child. That sort of thing is actually visible in some of the headlines that fly past, but she doesn't talk about it. I'm not saying anything about who "should be able" to have children. We need fewer perpetrators of environmental devastation (among other things), and also fewer victims. And yes, I am sympathetic to anti-natalism, which I don't think is that strange.

Not so. This video is, in part, disingenuous.

You've named both left-wing and right-wing elements there.

I'm not sure what you're referring to.

All true, but the world needs fewer people born into poverty and suffering as well.

Very true (but please learn to use paragraphs). There's also the motive to prevent people from being born into suffering.

@1971gift I'm not arguing with any of that.

Nobody's going to lessen their consumption voluntarily. I wish they would, but it won't happen.

@VeeKayGreenerGrass No, the pandemic restrictions prevented an enormous number of deaths, and the vast economic damage that would have resulted. Your first sentence is correct, however.

@VeeKayGreenerGrass Lockdowns, while difficult to implement correctly and rather ham-fisted, are still helpful in reducing spread. They're highly imperfect, but still important. If fewer people are breathing on one another, transmission is lessened.

@Thatgurlkassixoxo To what are you referring?

Exactly. They left that out of the video!

Si, pero hay problemas grandes, cosas importantes no estan aqui. (Disculpe, mi Espanol es triste.)

That's not exactly true; Latin America's total fertility rates have dropped like a brick over the past couple of decades.

Come to think of it, as a White man, being labeled as an oppressor presents some choices. One can go out of one's way to not live up to that, although that does come with the risk of turning into a self-loathing PC SJW caricature (the people using "LatinX," for example). One can get defensive about it, which is awful, of course. Worst of all, one can own it. Sadly, that might be on the rise.

Here we go again... The Nazis burnt Sanger's books. She and MLK lauded one another. Rosa Parks was on PP's board in the 1970s. Sanger worked with W.E.B. DuBois, and she didn't tolerate bigotry on her staff. She spoke to the Women's Auxiliary of the KKK because they asked her to, since their menfolk didn't want them to know about contraception. She later said that it was the weirdest experience of her life. The "word to go out" quote is out of context; that phrase meant that she didn't want people to get the wrong idea, which was easy to do considering the racial environment at the time. Besides that, her own writings show a lot of sympathy with the women of the Far East. Even Edwin Black, author of "War Against the Weak," a history of American eugenics, one of Sanger's strongest critics, makes it clear that she was no racist. She was many things, many of them bad, but not a racist. She also never was involved with any abortion; in fact, one of her goals with contraception was to prevent the dangerous illegal abortions being practiced at the time. Black women today have high abortion rates because they have high rates of unplanned pregnancy. They get abortions of their own free will; nobody is tricking them into it. Besides that, embryos aren't babies anyway, but that's a different topic. I'm tired of the lies.
