Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.~Having children is the single most ungreen thing you can ever do.
~Who wants to bring a child into this world of corruption, danger, and uncertainty?
~We are overpopulated, and somebody’s got to start being responsible.
~Pregnancy is a major health risk to women.
~Children often turn out badly.
~How can you have a great career and take time off for pregnancy as well?
~Children are one of the greatest sources of stress for a marriage.
~They cost you sleep.
~They cost you money.
~They certainly don’t provide you with more free time.
~They make messes, and break things.
~There is no greater challenge to your self-image as a competent, intelligent person than parenting.
~Children could keep you from going on the mission field.
