So that got me wondering. If future generations have a right to a clean and livable earth why don't they have a right to exist? Essentially a conclusion of the pro abortion movement is that future people don't have a right to exist.
Ah, becasue not granting everything an automatic right to eventual existence does not mean enough would not exist anyway?
Damn! I knew you always stretch very hard to achieve the degree of stupid expected of a theist, but your herculeanly rubbery effort really paid off this time.
It doesn't matter that enough will likely exist in the future. If every individual has a right not to reproduce and instead utilize all the resources they can obtain on themselves instead of children then all of humanity has the right to do the same.
Why is it that if you decide to have children in the future I have to exercise care of the world to preserve their well being?
