"And yet there's hate and anger and resentment and pain, all of which are far more likely to draw demons than love. Love leads to hope, leads to someone willing to make sacrifices for the person they care about, not demons. And as far as pregnant mages go... for one, it's another cruelty to deny families and children to people who may want them. For another, that can be dealt with by having witherstalk in the drinks of women who are in relationships with men. There are ways to do things that don't require denying the personhood of mages."

It's natural. It's life. It can be painful, but it can bring joy and everyone deserves a chance at it. Or more than one.
