I never wanted kids [View all]

Ever. I feel the world is overpopulated. I also didn't want to add a potential wage slave into the cogs of capitalism.

I find young kids annoying. And I shouldn't be forced to do something as major as motherhood to make Republicans happy. Always had cats and dogs. And climate change is real. And its gonna be horrible. Like "nomads wandering the earth looking for safer places" bad. I'm not putting my kids through what's coming. And coming soon.

Vance can fuck right off. What woman votes for vermin like him and Trump?
