Some young women in the U.S. are citing climate change, along with overwhelming student debt coupled with inflation, as reasons they'll never be parents. Some younger men, too, are opting out and more are seeking vasectomies.

This Aug. 15, 2022, photo shows El Johnson, right, with her girlfriend, Sara Goodie, in Austin, Texas. Johnson has decided not to bear children, though she hasn't ruled out adoption. At 24, El Johnson has made up her mind that she won't bear children, though she and her girlfriend haven't ruled out adoption.

Other women interviewed also cited climate change, along with overwhelming student debt coupled with inflation, as reasons they'll never be parents. Some younger men, too, are opting out and more are seeking vasectomies.The U.S. birth rate fell 4% in 2020, the largest single-year decrease in nearly 50 years, according to a government report. The government noted a 1% uptick in U.S.

When Kyah's IUD expires, Walter said he'll consider a vasectomy, a procedure that went on the rise among men under 30 during the pandemic. "Now with increased wildfires, droughts, heat waves, all of a sudden it is becoming real that, OK, this is happening during my time, and what is this going to look like during the time that my children are alive?" she said.

"There is a lot of fear around having children who would be worse off than they viewed themselves during their childhoods," Davidson said.

It’s a blessing, if they have “The vaccine” they won’t even need to try not o have children it would be done for them.

Back in my day dying your hair green and getting a nose piercing was a sign you didn’t want to Give the state a handjob

If you can't make your children happy, you shouldn't have kids, pretty logical. However, if the reason is money its the governments fault for the way society is right now, if you live in poverty having a kid isn't a good idea, but if you do their is always adoption or supports

Two woman lol

CTV grooming article..you folks are funny.

Why would you get your tubes removed if you are a lesbian?

As a child less GenX GOOD FOR YOU!!! I have multiple bank accounts, a house and a luxury car!!!!! LOLOL I have NEVER changed a diaper Vancouver

How were you gonna get pregnant from your girlfriend there sweetheart

In my opinion, it's nobody's business why ppl want/don't want kids. Who cares 🤷‍♀️

Climate? Who swallows this garbage?

Why is El getting spayed? Is she worried her girlfriend will knock her up?

I don’t think these two represent GenZs, despite your indoctrination efforts.

Nothing wrong with this

nice photo. you know what you're doing 🙄

🤪🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm totally fine with that. They need to get their shit together first.

weak

Good, the last thing this world needs is more mooch descendants

yes, blame Climate Change/Global Warming, despite facts which show the opposite, such as record Greenland ice buildup this year.

Awesome - keep up the good work guys - glad those lines end there

Sounds like a great excuse to avoid responsibility and live a hedonistic existence. Lets see how they feel about their decisions when they hit their fifties and are living overwhelmingly unfulfilled and most likely lonely and bitter. Shame on the school system and the far left.

It has a lot more to do with indoctrination than education…parents stand up for children. This is what you get when you let childless strangers raise your children Families matter!!❤️🙏🏼

Yea what a great representation of the whole group of gen z and millennials... purple haired lesbians. Seems like CTV is speaking out more than the people

I'm 67 retired...never married..never wanted kids..never bought a house..I just wanted to be free..

hahahaha i don't even have to say it about these geneations hahaha

Because they didn't have any?

After their 5th failed relationship they'll be old and alone and wondering what meaning they will find with the rest of their life and why didn't they have kids...

If you don't want to do it - don't. Kids would do better with parents who want to be parents.

2 messed up generations

I just hate kids

Thank goodness. Won't have to worry about that genetic line.

Good. This is what personal freedom to choose looks like. Being a parent is never ending stressful, if things out of your control like climate and inflation stress you way out parenting will not go well.
