Søren Kierkegaard on Antinatalism

“That is what Christianity is for – which straightaway bars the way to procreation. This means: stop!”

“A man is born in sin, he enters this world by means of a crime, his existence is a crime – and procreation is the fall.”

“Listen to the cry of a woman in labor at the hour of giving birth — look at the dying man’s struggle at his last extremity, and then tell me whether something that begins and ends thus could be intended for enjoyment.”
