Today we discuss an opinion piece by Boston University philosophy professor Victor Kumar, published in the New York Times. The article argues that progressives should adopt a pro-natalist stance similar to conservatives, but with a focus on government benefits and social services. We are confused and skepticle about the need for more population, especially given concerns about overpopulation and resource scarcity. The conversation touches on the cultural and religious motivations for large families, the implications of a declining population, and conservative fears about demographic changes.
