on July 29 and 30, a two-day live global streaming event featuring international speakers, panels, and a halftime show. It also welcomes parents, as well as those who want children and can’t have them.
1. When you find out we don’t want children, please don’t say “You’ll change your mind” or “You’ll regret it.” We understand our own lives better than you do. Let’s also banish “Who will take care of you when you get old?” There are too many parents in nursing homes whose kids never come to visit for this to be a sensible question. Also, birthing your own elder care is pretty selfish.
4. If you are a health practitioner, please practice patient-centered care by respecting our reproductive goals. Don’t immediately suggest egg freezing, or shut down requests for voluntary sterilization procedures. As the massive surge in such requests has indicated, many of us are terrified by the abortion bans, know we never want children, and don’t want to be forced into pregnancy.
