Coronavirus has people re-examining all parts of their lives, including this one: Is it OK to bring a baby into a pandemic?

Holly Smith had been planning for a third baby. The coronavirus changed that.

Ms. Smith says she and her husband, already parents of a 4-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son, had decided to start trying to conceive again in March. But when the family began holing up at home in San Diego that same month amid the pandemic, the couple started having second thoughts. Ms. Smith says she feels conflicted over the ethics of getting pregnant when hospitals are already stretched thin, and worries about the lack of data on the virus’s...

Planned Parenthood will have busy year nipping the bud.

Tough time Practice Brahamcharya - - - ?

A VERY BAD IDEA IN ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY.

Its not about 'planning a pregnancy' or 'having a baby': its about raising another human being for at least 18 years, probably more......you have the help and resources?

Having a child during pandemic or other crisis when many parents don’t want babies means that your child will face lesser competition at kindergarten, school and University. Not bad if you can afford it.

NO

crazy topic when we can't post comments containing anything alluding to the existence of a ChineseCommunistParty on your website... they kicked out your reporters, right? so, where are the other strings attached?

Because this is what is going to happen

Theres going to be alot of pregnancies over the next year from this lockdown.......and alot of divorced people

Tf you mean just have the fucking baby

the kids will have zika virus

Is it a good time to add to the 7.5 billion people on the earth when there’s millions of unwanted babies all to suit your throbbing biological urge to procreate? Having a kid isn’t very green, so don’t bother feeling good about your hybrid or recycling habits

I wouldn’t advocate for reproducing until Republicans and MAGAts in America are extinct.

What a f'n embarrassment

Humanity will survive. America will prosper. Children bring light and love to the your life. There is no right time, but there’s also no wrong time.

None of us would be here today if everyone was a pathetic as this.

Uh....NO

After our stoppage causes tens of millions in the third world to die from famine, we will need some more people.

I sense judgement.

Just to be clear. The world is not ending

No! Selfish

Yes, of course

What a stupid article.

What are you trying to sell us now? After birth abortion I suppose or baby murder as sane folk call it

I would wait a few years!

Ha! Stick people inside for 2 months. Then expect less people to get pregnant? Right!!!

As long as it is wearing a mask it should be Ok.

fellas is it gay to have children during a pandemic

Click bait. The maternity wards and OBs are not working on Covid-19 patients.

Media puppets trying to program the public as usual

It's not the Black Death, and even if it was the answer is always YES. I would say it's even more important due to the pandemic, but that would be taking the same kind of heartless logic where a life is just a number.

Is it okay to bring a child into the perpetual war the United States is in?

What next ? Is it okay to breathe Is it okay to drink water Is it okay to wake up These are some of the questions people are facing in 2020..... what a joke

Psychological population control at its finest , should change headline to “should you bring a baby into a society which is becoming more and more corrupt”

🗣HEEEEELL NO
