A excellent discussion on the different views of having and not having children as we move forward into a world of dwindling resources and overpopulation. Unfortunately, while good, the discussion here downplays the reason many decide to not have children: overpopulation. The comments make up for that.
The Choice To Be Childfree
Childless by choice. We look at the trend of couples saying “no thanks” to having kids.In 1970, just one in ten American women never bore a child. Today, it’s one in five. More and more American women, men, couples are going childfree. Once there was a stigma. Today it’s not so clear.
Some of the childfree say it’s too expensive. Some say the world’s population is enough. Some say it’s too much trouble. They’re just not inclined. The Bible says “be fruitful and multiply.” We’ve certainly done that.
What about the childfree way? For individuals? Couples? For society?
This hour, On Point: going childfree in America.
