Pronatalists believe having more children is imperative to save society. This seems somewhat opposed to being pro-choice, where the decision to procreate is purely a personal decision; the impact of your personal decision on society is not a factor.
- _moof 4y agoPro-choice doesn't mean you do or don't consider impact on society. It just means you get to choose, using whatever criteria you decide are important. You might make your choice based on impact to society (however you choose to define that), you might not. The point is it's your choice and no one else's, using criteria you chose. That in no way forecloses any particular way of thinking about whether to make any particular choice.
- rcme 4y agoSure, but I think there is a distinct difference between believing in an individual's right to choose and believing people must have kids to save society. The latter belief implies that making a certain choice is "wrong" and the other is "right". That doesn't necessarily mean all pronatalists are automatically pro-life, however.
