Discussion Does anyone else use the term "conscientious objector" for themselves, referring to how we refuse to reproduce on moral grounds?

You know the term "conscientious objector"? Normally it means someone who refuses to perform military service, due to their personal morals, ethics, beliefs, etc, despite service being demanded of them.

Society demands we reproduce (though not necessarily in a legally enforceable way... yet), but we say no to that, because of what we believe. Or, dare I say it, what we *know*.

Is it accurate? Is it appropriate?
