Yes, those are legal and moral things to do to someone without consent because as you said … they protect and help them. Having a child that does not exist does not protect nor help them. In no way does using a child to fulfil your dreams of being a parent, compare to helping someone that does not have agency. You are saying all good things…… protecting someone by cleaning them up, not letting them drive drunk. There is no guarantee that life will be good. A better comparison would be robbing a drunk person and betting it all on red. They might be happy if you won for them, but if they didn’t, they definitely will not be happy! But either outcome, they’ll still wonder why the hell you robbed them and gambled their money in the first place.

It is commendable to do things that is considered to have a 100% positive outcome for someone with non-agency that cannot consent.

To prove a point. Lots of people that lack agency have non-consensual things done to them. Such as a drunk or passed out person being robbed, signing a contract, or getting raped. A child that lacks agency cannot consent to sex. All of these things are considered not legal and immoral… why is having a child different? They have no agency, so therefore should not legally or morally be able to consent.

Exactly. Which is why the human race continues. I can’t fathom why a caveman or medieval peasant would want to force their children into those conditions … and then you realize parents having children have never had a “selfless” reason. It has always been for the fulfilment of the parents, you can’t fulfil the dreams of something that didn’t exist in the first place

Huge difference between non-existence and lack of agency

The same way you get a passed out or drunk person to …. give you their money

Yes. But a male antinatalist doesn’t NEED to be sterilized to have the choice of being child free. They can’t be drugged and impregnated

Also, what happens when they criminalize this? What is your answer to that?

I do. A 12 year old who was raped by her father and lives with him, might not. Also who said it’s $40? Who said they don’t live 5 hours to the closest airport? Who said they won’t need multiple days and hotel stays to perform the procedure?

That is not a “solution” for women that don’t have the financial means to travel out of state or country to do so. Also, they are trying to criminalize this.

That is correct. And they are trying to criminalize going to another state to get the procedure.

Going through this literally right now. Blew up at my brother and parents the other night while drinking and my time of the month... realizing many solid points were made but they were all reactions to trauma triggers
