I used to be a firm anti-abortionist. In my POV abortion was to be avoided at all costs unless there was absolute 100% certainty that neither mother nor child would be able to survive pregnancy.
After I began to doubt my religious convictions my views began to grow progressively more liberal, until I finally lost all faith in my religion and did a complete 180.
These days I consider myself a firm antinatalist.
So if I am to understand you correctly, you are completely opposed to birth, and thus favor human extinction? I know you've got a bizarre sense of humor, so I'm going to assume you're kidding with your last sentence.
This time I'm being serious.
It doesn't show much in my posts here, usually because I don't often like to bring it up, but far too many things have happened to me in recent years that have left me very much a "glass-is-half-empty" type of person. Humans have gone from being wayward caretakers in my eyes to being glorified locusts that selfishly eat away at everything - and everyone - around them.
I'm not happy being a misanthrope, a pessimist, or - I'm sad to say - a nihilist. But that's the way the dice rolled, and short of some higher power showing up to prove me wrong, there's nothing that can be done to change how I feel.
