From Childfree America: Fuck You, Paul Ryan

[RB TexLa]

"This is going to be the new economic challenge for America: people. Baby boomers are retiring - I did my part, but we need to have higher birth rates in this country,"

1. It is called immigration, asshat!

[RB TexLa]

5. They are lined up to come here and we don't have to pay to educate them.

[dhol82]

6. And ready and willing to work and contribute to our society.

[BigmanPigman]

2. Yeah, keep those baby making machines barefoot and pregnant

you POS!

[madaboutharry]

3. What a thoughtless and insulting thing to say.

People who choose not to have children should be respected. People who can't have children also need to be respected.

[Guilded Lilly]

7. Its Paul Ryan who should not be respected.

[madaboutharry]

10. Exactly.

Paul Ryan is a fraud.

4. As one half of a childless couple

I am aware and unfazed by the enormous amounts of pro baby propaganda thrown at us daily.

[Skittles]

8. OMG do I ever hear you

it comes from all directions

12. Even having one isn't enough either

We had one child and were clear we only wanted one. I swear we weren't even out of the hospital before my family started asking when we planned on another one.

7 years later, I still get shit, from family, friends, coworkers, at least once a weekabout how we just HAVE to have another one.

15. I am the mom of someone who is one half of a childless couple.

They might have kids, they might not.

I get asked all the time about "grandbabies." It's uncomfortable. I just smile and say *if* they have kids it will be on their own timetable.

I have told my daughter that my sense of identity does not revolve around being a grandma. It's totally good, whatever they decide.

9. Immigration will solve this problem.

But you don't want more brown people, do you asshole? Fuck you, Paul Ryan! Women will not be your incubators.

[MaryMagdaline]

11. He did his part? I'm sure his wife begs to differ

[spooky3]

13. I guess he doesn't care whether we strain our environmental and other resources.

14. Coming from a man who decries food stamps...what kind of children..

what kind of children Is Paul looking for?

in America today it seems to me you’ve got millions of poor people struggling to support themselves let alone children, and some rich people who may be too busy with their careers and materialistic lifestyles to properly raise stable kids, and wealthy congressman lecturing the former for making irresponsible choices...taking healthcare away from sick kids..

If you think children are important to our future, Paul, better start acting like it.

16. At least he didn't call women baby-makers.

In 2007, Japan's health minister spewed this: "The number of women aged between 15 and 50 is fixed," Mr. Yanagisawa, 71, said. "Because the number of birth-giving machines and devices is fixed, all we can do is ask them to do their best per head."
