Eva Vlaardingerbroek, a conservative commentator in the Netherlands, has been making headlines after she criticized abortion in response to an article about young people who are afraid to have children due to climate change.
Vlaardingerbroek called abortion “evil” and “degenerate,” and said that not having children because of the climate crisis was “narcissistic.”
She urged people to consider the lives of their ancestors, who lived in much harder times but still did not resort to killing their own children.
One of the young women featured in the article, Zoe, said that she had an abortion because she did not want to bring a child into a world with so many environmental problems.
Vlaardingerbroek’s comments went viral and even caught the attention of billionaire and Twitter owner Elon Musk, who agreed with her and emphasized the importance of making new humans.
Overpopulation has been a concern for many rich and powerful voices for more than a century, with some calling for regulations to limit the number of children in order to reduce the earth’s “carbon footprint.”
However, birth rates have been declining across the world, including in many Asian and European countries where the number of births is below replacement level.
This is expected to lead to a shrinking population in the coming years, which could have significant social and economic consequences.
