{childfree} manifesto
After 12 years of seeking a doctor to perform permanent birth control, I finally had a hysterectomy…. Because of pre cancer cells. It’s a shame that that’s what it takes for me to get what I want… Pre cancer cells. Even then, they were hesitant. The whole time I was in preop I kept hearing how young and healthy I am, from nurses who are younger than me. I wanted to punch them in the throat. I already have a date and confirmed guests for my unbaby shower when I’m healed. I’m gonna celebrate the shit out of this milestone!
Andrea,
Congratulations! I practically danced into my surgery (took a demon-possessed ovary for me to get what I wanted). My husband did not tell me for years that the MD who did his vasectomy gave him grief. Hubby knew I would have pitched a fit, especially since no one in the medical field would have listened to my wishes at that time.

1. What is keeping you from having a child?
2. Which definition of “family” are you referring to−the one without a child?
3. How exactly are you leading a rich and meaningful life without a child?
4. Why made you think that children are considered our lives “center-of-attention,” which you believe is wrong?
5. Do you love children, as they are a gift of god to this world?
6. How exactly are you happy and fulfilled without a child?
7. Do you know the difference between ‘selfish’ and ‘immoral’?
8. How do you really care about the world, all families, and your collective future−by promoting childfree life benefits and your manifesto?
9. So, one of your life’s choices is to neither have a biological child nor adopt one? What made you come to this decision in life?
10. Again, what exactly did you choose in your life to make your life a meaningful one−by being childfree?
11. Lastly, do you believe in God?
