I don't really understand those who get upset at others for thinking a certain thing is morally wrong. As long as it doesn't take away anyone's basic rights, then there is no reason why it should make me angry.
I don't think they're saying having kids is an immoral injustice to them. They're challenging the idea that every person is grateful for their existence. Until I had kids, I loathed my being alive and truly wished I had never been born. Now that I've found some slight semblance of happiness, I'm torn about whether or not my existence has been worth it.
That is something to take into consideration when a person chooses to have children.
No, they also said that it is immoral because you are bringing someone into existence without their consent.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
