Paging all parents! Blue-checked sports writer needs you to stop having kids ‘in the name of earth’s survival’

If you’re friends with alleged New York Times bestselling author and sports writer Jeff Pearlman and you’re expecting a child, you probably shouldn’t tell him about it:
Just saw a Tweet from a guy I know, announcing how excited he and his wife are to be having child No. 6. Does there come a point when, in the name of earth's survival and limited resources, we're allowed to say, "Hmm. I dunno, man ..."

He doesn’t know, man.
Yeah he did. Passive-aggressively, of course.
We’d pay money to see that.

Jeff has spoken, everyone. Are you going to listen?
Guess abortion is the exception to Jeff’s rule about not controlling women’s bodies.
I'm one of six kids. I don't think my parents would have reacted well to that idiot's question.

No, because the Earth doesn’t have an overpopulation problem. Didn’t in Malthus’s time, doesn’t now.

Say what you want, but you'll be wrong. You're seeing people only as burdens, not as assets. Worse, you're seeing people simply as a means, not as ends.

What a depressing lens through which to view the world.
That’s pretty much where Jeff’s at, yeah.
Nope...not your call to make, even in the slightest... congratulate your friend and move on.....

Sage advice. In the meantime:
