Should women stop having babies? Here's why some people say 'yes!'
New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently set off a firestorm by putting that very question to her 2.7 million followers in an Instagram live stream. The congresswoman’s words, of course, may have been twisted by her critics, with Steve Hilton on Fox News calling the idea “fascistic” and a “no-child policy.”
According to the Guardian, Pepino lost her “overwhelming urge” to start a family after she attended a lecture by the direct-action group Extinction Rebellion, which laid out the catastrophic potential of climate change. Hannah Scott, 23 years old, was another young BirthStriker adherent who was quoted as saying: “I feel so desperately that it would be bringing a life into a future that does seem ever more desolate. Every time a friend tells me they’re pregnant, or planning on having children, I have to bite my tongue.”
