[quote=Anonymous]I became pregnant via IVF so know that personal h*ll and many people want kids, but for various circumstances can’t have them.
My personal experience is that some friends never married and they did not pursue single parenthood. Some (I think) would have loved to raise a family. Some maybe not.

There is a bizarre focus for some people on animals take the place of children. I love animals, domestic and wild but don’t equate them with a child, anyone’s child. I know a few people who equate their animal to the needs of a child.

Also,  you can have multiple children and have less of a footprint than a family with 1 DC. The environmental issue would be better served with changes to our industry/ factory behaviors, food source changes, transportation changes, etc.

I do know some people who decided not to have kids who are pretty self-centered. I think the other thing he was getting at was the focus on the material items. I can only have one b/c we could give them all the material ‘things’. I don’t find this surprising coming from the Pope.

Personally, I think people should make their own decisions and not make this decision based on current norms or mores.[/quote]
