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.

    …

    Most developed countries…

    Why cant we create a world where ALL peaceful peoples of all countries have access to these things?

    And YES it is our business. We literally have numerous international mercenaries conducting genocide in Palestine and Sudan and I can bet that easily over 90% of those mercenaries had parents who were ‘OK’ with raising their child in poverty, parents who constantly, even to a fault, romanticized the 'we’ll figure it out" part of baby making and/or having sex… Then you stop wondering how these knuckle draggers become such barbarians

    Why cant we create a world where all peaceful peoples have access to universal sterilization, birth control, sex ed, and abortions? Why should we lock these privileges to only people in developed nations?

      The practice of deciding who you believe should or should not have a child is abhorrent.

        its abhorrent BUT its realistic.
