PS: The point here is NOT that poor people shouldn’t have kids, it’s that no one should be having kids without having the basics of childcare covered, which necessitates widespread systemic, societal, and economic change so that no parent needs to worry about those basics, and kids can grow up in secure, healthy environments. I completely forgot to mention this when I originally posted it, and that’s my bad.
This doesnt read to me as oops babies, it’s people who want kids even though they can’t afford to take care of them. I agree with the other part but it’s like telling a woman she shouldn’t go out at night, it sucks that you have to do that but that’s the reality you live in. You can’t put another person through hardship because you wanted kids.
