In that same period, Bartkus’ rhetoric on alternative social media sites was dark. “I would not acknowledge reproduction as a human right, but instead as a form of rape,” IndictEvolution wrote on Lemmy.World in July 2023. “I am also not bothered by infanticide as long as it is done humanely…”

        You can’t, and that’s the point they’re trying to make. Procreation is unethical because you’re forcing existence on people without consent.

        Exactly. And realistically, they would need to be at least a teenager before they would truly understand what they’re accepting.
