“The female body is optimized for pregnancy and childbirth/pregnancy and childbirth does not damage your body in the slightest. You’re just scaremongering because you want to be irresponsible/be a slut/contribute to the extinction of the human race/be a rabid feminist lonely cat lady/<insert contrived excuse>”

Categorically false. In exchange for the ability to walk upright, evolution gave human female physiology only just enough capability to 3D print and deliver grossly underdeveloped offspring (mostly) alive, with little allowance for the toll it takes on the mother’s body.

This is why human babies are born completely unable to fend for themselves, or walk, or eat solid food.

This is why human babies sometimes get stuck in the birth canal and require surgical intervention for successful delivery.

This is why pregnant women’s bodies are often horribly weakened by the entire process of pregnancy and delivery and why so many women straight up die during childbirth.

If women don’t want any part of that, that’s no one’s business but their own.

    Also about 30-60% of ALL conceotions will end in miscarriage. Miscarriage rate hovers at around 50% for most women who get pregnant and the odds increase the more a woman has miscarried before https://www.uclahealth.org/medical-services/obgyn/conditions-treated/recurrent-pregnancy-loss .The female human body is NOT optimized for conception.

    (…This ALSO makes me wonnder about sperm cells from male humans. Like…what if there are sperm cells deliberately built by the testes so that they can make faux conceptions thst will more oft than not end in miscarriage and they were only kept in the male genome for evolutionary reasons that we havent been able to explain thoroughly. and deeply enough yet? DO we know this or not? )

    And also the easiet argument against breeders who want people to have as msnyy children as possible is that all humans are entitled to their bodily autonkmy . If a man, woman, non-binary person or whoever chooses to not have any children cause they say iitll harm their bodily autonomy? Who are we to argue? Theyre a human adult. They are entitled to that body they were born with. The WHOLE of it. The entire body must be left intact as that human adult sees fit.

    Thanks for this.
