I get that the topic evokes a lot of emotions, but I don't understand why the reasons are offensive, are we not all making the beat decisions we can with what information we have?
For some there might be reasons and considerations more important than granting their offspring a life without strife (and thus make different moral judgements). I'm not trying to judge one choice over the other, I'm curious as to why the topic gets so personal and passionate even with people who otherwise are level-headed and well reasoned.
That's my point about civility. I think you can have the conversations, but almost every parent I know says that their children are their greatest achievement and that they are the best part of their life. You're inviting people in who fundamentally disagree with that and a lot of people take it pretty personally when you call the most important thing in their life a moral failure. I just don't imagine /c/parenting users come here to be lambasted and I doubt it's good for growing the community as well
