I'm so glad I got sterilized. Besides the fact that I have a degenerative genetic disorder; housing isn't affordable (and no roommate or landlord wants messy/loud children in their home), food prices are ridiculous, pregnancy is too risky, there's dwindling social programs to help mothers, the US doesn't have maternity leave, the earth's climate is changing drastically, and war is looming. It's literally the best time to be sterilized.
If I change my mind, I'll adopt. The US foster system is overflowing with hundreds of thousands of children, whose parents were forced to birth them, but couldn't care for them. 11% more children have been filling foster homes because of RvW.
