We must not inflict life on children who will be resented we must not inflict unwanted children on society.

The line argues against treating childbirth as an obligation detached from desire, capacity, or care. By using the stark verb “inflict,” it frames unwanted parenthood as a harm done both to the child—who may grow up sensing resentment or emotional neglect—and to the wider community that must absorb the consequences of coerced or unsupported parenting. The quote implies an ethical priority: children should be brought into circumstances where they are welcomed and nurtured, and reproductive decisions should consider the well-being of existing and future people rather than abstract ideals. It also gestures toward social responsibility: preventing unwanted births is presented as a humane act, not a moral failing.
