having babies like a chicken pooping out eggs...

simone de beauvoir was kinda of a super bitch (if i were still dwelling on some other topic, i bet i know who would have been a great buddy for her).
<-- just look at that scornfulness! she asserted in her text "le deuxième sexe" that women who pooped out kids all the time were basically like chickens pooping out eggs. don't get me wrong, i think kids are neat. i even watch someone else's as a part-time job (forgive me if i am repeating myself). i have nieces and nephews. we have friends who have kids. i just don't feel that need to have a kid, though.
i am disheartened by the overpopulation of our earth as well as the fact that countless children are born into families/situations where no one wants them. most days i feel like we are on a sinking ship and that no one seems to give a damn about our collective future anyway, so what's the point of procreating only to have a kid who's going to grow up knowing possible famine, despair, and severe poverty. i realize that this occurs constantly in our current world, but this is yet another reason that i feel that issues such as abstinence-only education and limitation of birth control (making more expensive, i.e. less readily available to those who might really need and want it) are big mistakes in industrialized nations (specifically the u.s.).
i'm by no means attacking anyone who wants to have a child. i just feel that our society is so procreation-oriented that i am bogged down by the constant questions from family, friends, and the occasional stranger, who feel that it is their duty (or perhaps right?) to pry into my sex life to see when my man and i plan on pooping out kids. i used to be able to use school as an excuse, but it seems as though i am going to have to start telling folks straight up that i don't feel the need/desire to shoot out any spawn of my own.
