"Meet the women who won't have babies--because they're not so eco friendly"

Daily Mail ^ | Nov. 21, 2007 | Natasha Courtenay Smith and Morag Turner

[Misterioso]

This woman doesn’t want to be a mother but instead of explaining her reasoning she resorts to silly grandstanding in order to allay her guilt feelings. It’s a relief that she won’t be screwing up some kid.

[FormerLib]

The Muslims would publicly execute this woman.

[bigcat00]

If these folks really believe there are too many people for this wonderful world, they should do their 40 or 50 years, commit suicide and let someone else enjoy it for a while. But, not surprisingly, none of them want to do that. Instead, they’ll want to hang around forever using up resources well past their own ability to make any useful contribution. It’s not the case that they think there are too many people in the world...it’s that they think there are too many OTHER people.

Because when Toni terminated her pregnancy, she did so in the firm belief she was helping to save the planet.

There are monsters among us.

I think it's sad that many on the left have fallen for the fearmongering of the environmental movement to the point of stuff like this.

I know a girl (I think she's in her late 20's) who is married but decided not to have babies, because of so-called overpopulation... and I think it's so sad, because these are myths being pushed, for a political agenda.

[FreeManWhoCan]

Is this the script of a horror movie? How sad that people so young can be so embittered towards the world and life that they do this to themselves.

[agere_contra]

Good riddance. Two nincompoops who believe the tired old lefty nonsense about there being too many people and too few resources, have elected to commit genetic suicide. Best news I’ve had all day.

Literal numb-nuts like these two should take a good look at history. The worldwide famines predicted by Malthus, Paul Ehrlich (author of the “Population Bomb”) and others for the middle of the 20th century never came to pass.

If they want to find starving people today, they need to look at totalitarian regimes like Cuba, Zimbabwe and North Korea. These sunny socialist utopias are hells on earth: stark testaments to the most deadly force in human history - communism.

[RegulatorCountry]

I guess it's a waste of time to inform this self-hating zealot that the entire developed world is facing population collapse over the next several decades. The only exception is the United States, and we're importing our stabilized replacement rate. I guess there's a strange sort of logic to this woman's beliefs, since the collapse of the west will lead to no more third world aid, thereby removing even more "pollution" from the planet. Margaret Sanger is trilling in hell, at the impending doom of so many she deemed "human weeds." Mass psychosis, that's the only plausible explanation.

[sierrahome]

People like this have a God sized hole in their hearts...maybe their heads.

[kittymyrib]

There is an abundance of this brain-washing done at university campuses. If everyone practiced this anti-child religion, there would be no need for universities or professors, of course, but these God-hating rock worshipers don’t think that far.
I hope these couples are saving their money for their old age, because they certainly should not be expecting our children and grandchildren to pony up for their care with tax dollars.
They have contributed virtually nothing to the society and its future.

[Leisler]

"Come on, come on. I want to get a picture of you all where the urban lefties died out years ago!"

[traditional1]

"I realised then that a baby would pollute the planet"

Your Mother didn't think the same....

[No Surrender No Retreat]

The Typical (NOW) WOMYN on display and or in other words, a POS.

[metmom]

"Every year, we also take a nice holiday - we've just come back from South Africa. "We feel we can have one long-haul flight a year, as we are vegan and childless, thereby greatly reducing our carbon footprint and combating over-population.

She should have a great, big, red letter H stamped on her forehead for being such a hypocrite.

[metmom]

Selfish. They do manage that one long haul flight every year.

[GOPJ]

"Having children is selfish. It's all about maintaining your genetic line at the expense of the planet," says Toni, 35.

I suspect Toni wanted to punish her parents for not giving her more... This reeks of spoiled brat syndrome.

[The Great RJ]

At least their kids will be spared the humiliation of learning that the global warming in which their parents so ardently believed was cruel hoax and an utter fraud.

[abclily]

Exactly. If this woman thinks childbirth is ruining the planet, she is insane. However, IMHO she is just using her misinformed devotion to the planet to hide her aversion to children.

[steve in DC]

If you are not propagating the species, then you are really sponging up resources to no productive end.

It is only for your personal, hedonistic pleasures that you continue to exist.

Talk about being selfish, and being a useless drag on the ecology....
