[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wanted children. But a larger and larger number of us can't afford either IVF or adoption and to make a good like for the child once they are here.

So when I couldn't get pregnant naturally, I have up entirely. Had I lived in an area where it was easier to adopt from foster care, I might have done that.

I can certainly see where, in a time if limiting reproductive rights, more younger people would chose to get sterilized or have a vasectomy at an earlier and earlier age. That way, no unhappy surprises they can't afford to pay for. [/quote]

Ivf could be next on the chopping block with abortion.  They are flip sides of the same coin.[/quote]

And then there will be fewer children.

My parents (white, hundreds of years in the US, because someone always says I am a recent immigrant) discouraged me from dating and only encouraged academics. By the time I moved several states away from them and married, apparently it was already too late.

Conservatives will end up with almost no population growth of non-immigrants if they keep this up. Between limiting control of reproduction, sky high public college tuitions and loans, high housing costs, no support for parents or new moms and dads, "pro life" essentially ending IVF, all the chemicals they want to continue releasing into the air and water, and pro business policies that hurt workers...means that more and more Americans won't be having kids, unless they are recent immigrants who are used to a lower standard of living.

I think the plan is to pull 75 percent of the white vote and 20 percent of the minority vote. Small margins of course but it has worked before.

That's why race is such a big thing right now. It is critical to convince 2/3 of white people (or more really) to vote as a racial block.[/quote]
