I did it because I didn't want my wife being forced to carry a baby she didn't want, or dying because a doctor isn't allowed to properly treat a miscarriage.

Yeah I am not going to bring someone into the world just for them to suffer from things we have known would happen for a long time but refused to do anything about. If I want kids I will adopt someone who is already here.

Can't all y'all think about the economy!!! We need more workers to make stuff and then buy stuff. Shareholder value could be affected. Don't ask what your overload can do for you but what you can do for the overloads.

I got my vasectomy a few weeks ago. No way am I bringing life into this fucking shit show

Most of what people say is rationalization after the fact.

Microplastics in our balls and brains. World coming to an end. Can't afford food or shelter. Can't afford to risk pregnancy. Gee, why can't I get horny? What could it be?

Guess you're not getting it if you're too stressed to think about it

Damn, I'm supposed to maintain for 35 years?

Personal observation with zero research: the 2018 spike among males may be correlated with the takeoff of the #metoo movement.

I get why suicides have increased since covid, and now with what our governments are up to, but what happened in 2018 that caused such a high spike in suicides? I googled it and reports of a spike in 2018 come up, but none of the articles offer any attempt to explain the increase.

Some financial rewards would be better than nothing, of course. But governments have no interest in doing that. Because they want new work-slaves to bring them money each month from working 8-9 hours a day.

Exactly. This is how you get abortion farmers

If your goal is to reduce population don't reward a temporary measure, put your incentives on sterilization.
