A young content creator claims she never wants children and believes bringing babies into the world is a “selfish” choice.
Abigail Porter, 24, relishes her “fun” and “spontaneous” life in Los Angeles without the burden of offspring — and is certain that motherhood is not in her future.
“I always felt it wasn’t for me,” the Zoomer told SWNS. “As a woman, we’re pressured from the moment we’re born with baby dolls.”
Porter proclaimed that she felt “scared” as a young girl because she thought there was no other option but to become a mom, which would mean she would “have to give up all my freedoms.”
“Then I realized I didn’t have to be scared,” she stated. “I could choose to not have kids.”
Porter’s family has finally come to terms with the fact she will not be a mom, but it took her parents time to process that they won’t have grandkids.
Strangers, meanwhile, have accused Porter of being “selfish” for not wanting to become a mom — but she believes parenthood is selfish in its own way.
“I see both choices as selfish,” she stated, admitting she is guilty of putting her own needs and desires first. “There is no way around selfishness.”
“We’re all making choices for ourselves,” she added. “For some people, that is having kids.”
On social media, Porter is open about her decision not to have children, which has also attracted criticism.
“People want me to grow up and be unhappy,” the TikToker stated. “They say, ‘No one will take care of you’ or ‘You’ll change your mind.'”
Others say Porter will live to regret not having children, but the youngster says she’s busy creating a fulfilling life.
“I’m building a life for myself that is happy, full of joy, purpose and meaning,” she declared.
Porter says she loves being able to live a spontaneous life, going out in LA in the evening with her pals and traveling abroad.
“It would have been twice as expensive if I took a kid with me,” the Zoomer said of a recent jaunt she took to Mexico.
“I value the spontaneity of life,” Porter further proclaimed, saying she hopes she can inspire other people to break free of societal expectations if they feel like they’re trapped into having children.
“I’m providing an example of a happy life without kids,” she enthused. “I love my selfish life. I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
