You're right, of course. Everyone is free to make their own decisions, and reproductive freedom is just that.
It simply bothers me to see children certainly as deserving as any growing up without the love and security and promise of loving families, while some people seem to feel that their genes deserve to be reproduced many times. I'd like to see every child fed, clothed, educated, and raised in the love of a family, not just the ones I gave birth to.
But as I said above, tree-hugging liberal here. Sorry for spamming your journal. It's a hot-button issue for me and I'll try harder to keep it to my own lj.
