Important reminder: No one "owes" anyone children. You don't owe your parents, you don't owe your grandparents, you don't owe your deacon, nor your cult leader, and sure as shit not your country.

No amount of weaseling, manipulation, what-ifs, or post-hoc rationalizations change the fact that someone else's decision whether or not to reproduce is not yours.
