It's a 196 thing, I think.

That's behavior from games 30+ years ago.

Ah, the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia.

A better educated and less impoverished population is something, too.

I'll pay for college for a large number of people and pay a lawyer to defend my action as not "giving it away."

Safety isn't a matter of taste. After a certain threshold maybe, but prior to that, it's a matter of responsibility (and sometimes legal liability).

Depression and anxiety greatly hindered my educational goals, so I only have an associates degree in accounting. However, the woman I married has a master's degree in computer science and a good, well-paying job. Our first child had medical issues requiring full-time care for several years, so I am now a stay-at-home dad to two kids, guiding them through homeschool.

Your heart is in the right place, but that's not exactly a reasonable comparison. Few other surgeries, even elective ones, permanently remove your ability to do something as major as procreation.

People should have the option to have their tubes tied without judgement, but it is not as simple a decision as repairing a damaged part of the body.

There's little in the world to be anything but disgruntled about.
