OK, but if you aren’t “taking the sensation away” if it was never there to begin with.

Aren't you the one talking about "the unborn" as though they do exist and are somehow harmed by being given corporeal form. I'm just working from your premise.

I don’t believe in free will.

Then this whole argument falls apart. You can't be mad at people for procreating if they didn't have control over it to begin with.

I can be mad at who ever I want regardless of my lack of a belief in free will. Emotions aren't rational or dictated by rationality.

The rational part is that I can try to discourage them or convince others that being born sucks.

Only if you have free will

What I want is dictated by the neurons firing off and the various bio chemicals floating around in my brain. Which are all dictated by physical reality.

My will is not free from anything, I still want things. They are not mutually exclusive.

My will is not free from anything

Then you're not free to choose whether you procreate.
