Not Having Kids Is Wrong

everyone stops having kids, our population growth would drop and they may go as far to say it would devastate the US’s population or the human race. While looking for information that would refute my evidence, I found a post written by the founder of VICE, who in 2008 left to join the “right wing.” This post consisted of the top ten reasons why one’s decision of not having kids is stupid. In this he writes things like how only one extra kid one has isn’t going to contribute to global warming, kids aren’t expensive if you just spend less on oneself, and that once one is done with their youth, they won’t have anytime to do without having kids in their life. Although these are completely opinion based, they would be arguments that would be used,
They don’t have any data or evidence to back them up, so their argument really isn’t strong. Relying on the Pope for evidence really only supports what would be considered religious reasoning- it is completely theological. Therefore this is not strong evidence when considering the big picture of the issue- one can not depend on another opinion as evidence for an argument. Although, one could argue that issues with the population could occur. Since they argued that the population would go down because everyone was going to stop having children. In an article from Slate, they show that in the past there was actually concern for how the population was growing when considering limited resources of food, clean water, and energy. If these trends continue, it was estimated that by mid-century living conditions for most of humanity would be bleak. Looking at news sets of data, the birth rate is slowing down. These threats of limited living have been diminished and researchers aren’t as concerned with how much we will have to exploit the planet. The article attributes much of this to education. With evidence like this, it really refutes the claims that was being made by the someone on the other side of the argument. By not putting such a pressure on having children, the rate balanced itself out. Additionally, it is important to point out how education has played a role in the decrease. Looking at the evidence that I provided earlier, education also had an important role in the women’s lives in the United States. One can also see how this is influencing less developed countries. Considering that the other’s argument is mostly opinion based, one could dispute their claims with factual information and discrediting their theological
