i still think people should do their best to choose wisely regarding reproduction but every circumstance is unique.

My suggestion was not that choosing wisely in this regard is somehow immoral, but rather your next step in suggesting that the government should regulate the reproductive rights of people to this end. To me, this second step crosses the morality line.

People and animals must live together in balance, but from a logical perspective, the primary(<--emphasis) reason for this is human survival. If your primary reason is a sort of natural morality, then i say more power too you. But having the government punish/monitor/regulate/tax people who break this natural morality is the exact same thing as Christian fundamentalists trying to use the law to push their morals. You have just chosen a different cause to be extreme about.

so... how about answering my question.

On edit..let me also add an additional question:
What if the choices where a bear and Tucker Carlson :)
