    well at least we can rest assured her genes won't be passed on. Thank God for that. Her man can still dump her and find a normal level headed woman to have kids with .

    "It was a very personal decision" yet she decided to make it public, eh?

    You gotta be pretty fucking stupid to talk about shit like that pretty much anywhere in Europe seeing most of our countries have declining birth rates, try talking about that anti-natalist BS in Asia or Africa maybe?

    This is like fighting obesity by cuting your legs. Sure, globally, you will weight less, but the real problem is not solved. Earth is overpopulate. More or less. But the major impact on the numbers is not that of the shrinking western white population. Is that of the people in Africa and Asia. That is the place where the problem is located
