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