The CHILDFREE Life - When having it all means not having children

A community’s attitude toward children reveals a lot about their moral character. Some may
think that the wealthy would tend to have more children, for they can afford them. The opposite
is actually true. The affluent are far more likely to be focused upon living a materially obsessed
life that views children as a hindrance to their pursuit of selfish pleasure. This topic was the
subject of a Time magazine article this month (pictured above).

Children are increasingly viewed as an interruption, an unwanted burden, and an intrusion upon a
life devoted to the pursuit of pleasure. Raising children requires self-sacrifice. It is the antithesis
of selfish living. It is little surprise then, that the city with the highest percentage of homosexuals
in the nation also has the fewest children. Homosexuality is at its heart, a selfish lifestyle.

The low number of children in San Francisco is not an anomaly. The three cities with the greatest
concentration of homosexuals on the West Coast are San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland. They
also are the three cities with the least children per capita. The 2010 census showed that just 13.4
% of San Francisco’s 805,235 residents are below the age of 18. There is actually a higher
percentage of people aged 65 and older (13.6%) than there are children in San Francisco. For
comparison purposes, the 2010 census for the city of Dallas, Texas, a comparatively conservative
southern city with a far greater religious influence, revealed that 26.6% of the population was
under the age of 18. This is double the rate of San Francisco. NPR aired a program that discussed
the absence of children in San Francisco. The broadcast begins, “Imagine a city that is for the
most part, without children. That’s what the future looks like in San Francisco. It already has the
lowest number of kids per capita of any big city in America. Now, a new study shows that nearly
half of the young families still living in San Francisco are planning to move within the next three
years.”

A selfish, hedonistic, homosexual city is not a good place to raise children. What then will be the
result of the government’s and media’s constant advocacy of homosexuality in America?
America’s future can be seen in San Francisco. It will become a barren land, devoid of children.
