It is Irresponsible to have Children.

The Fool, I simply refuse to argue semantics with you. Roughly 1 in every 2 pregnancies in America is unplanned. . http://www.thenationalcampaign.org... My opponent states:“even if it is by accident it doesn’t mean they is will turn out bad, like I said it may turn out for the better. It may be positive on the parents; it often makes them more mature. And this maturity causes them to put more effort on increasing. ” As I said before, this is about the children, not the parents. People need to mature BEFORE they have children, not afterwards. “ideal conditions is vague, as long as you can feed them give them attention with adequate shelter, it may be alright. The two major factors correlated with success of the child is the education and financial status of the parent level of the parents. But I think the financial part is mostly beneficial for paying for college, because you could be rich and still a bad parent. ” “may be alright” isn’t good enough. If we truly care about the children in question, then we should be feeding the best quality food available. The money isn’t just about paying for college. It’s about keeping the lights and hot water on in the house they live in. It’s about being able to pay for something other than ramen noodles for dinner (which has next to no nutritional value). Yes, you could be rich and be a bad parent. But not being able to provide for your child makes you a bad parent by definition. "There is no way to tell how many people consider it or not. It much more rational, likely and charitable, that most people consider that. If you consider it, and you have are at the lower part of the social ladder then you should think that most people consider it. "I contend that If most people thought about it, then less people would have children. "we have been over finance, I don’t know think the deaths are even close to that high, I am sure this is mostly in vary undeveloped countries in the word. Death is not something woman in most of the world have to worry about. Pain comes, and it sucks but it goes. Live goes on. I think woman are strong enough. " I never said where, and your statements are pure speculation. “Pain comes, and it sucks but it goes. Life goes on. ” What a callous thing to say. It's as if my opponent simply refuses to connect with the suffering of other women. “The Fool: do you really think people don't have moment's consideration? Really? More than selfish? So like so selfish that its altruistic? So that is good isn’t it. ;) Yes. ” It is callous to realize that there are 523,000 children in foster care in America alone. Over 119,000 are waiting to be adopted. So yes, it is absolutely cold, callous, and selfish to see these numbers, and want to make your own. These statistics, combined with human overpopulation are reason enough to see that having a child is an incredibly irresponsible decision. . http://answers.yahoo.com... Also, (and I hope that the readers realize this) but my opponent clearly quote-mined me here. I asked for a respectful debate, but I guess I’ll let this slide. "I am aware of those issues, but like I said even if we only had one child each it would still chop the population in half. So any argument against having no children will not suffice. ” Chopping the population in half would be a huge improvement I thank my opponent for her. .. Emotional responses.
