If I can't afford to buy a yacht, I don't buy one.
If I can't afford to support a child, I don't bear one.
Simple as that.
the dysfunctional welfare state works like this:
if you can't afford to move out of your dysfunctional family's home, and you are over 18, bearing a child is your ticket to a Section 8 apartment and escape from your dysfunctional family.
If I'm so "very selective in focus," why are the poor even having a problem supporting themselves and their dependents at all?
Lack the skills to get good jobs, lack the tolerance to sustain crappy jobs.
You might recall that in the years leading to welfare reform and time limits, there was a 'third group' of welfare recipients who repeatedly cycled on and off welfare while intermittently working crappy jobs until they quit or were fired or laid off, at which time they cycled back on welfare.
Same principle applies to unemployment benefits: unemployed jobholders stay on unemployment as long as they can; unemployed careerholders return to work as soon as they can.
if you can't afford to move out of your dysfunctional family's home, and you are over 18, bearing a child is your ticket to a Section 8 apartment and escape from your dysfunctional family.
OK, granted. But what are the odds that such children will not also be dysfunctional?
Look at yourself... You've not been able to earn/work your way out of your family's dysfunction.
Bearing children one cannot afford to support is a CHOICE.
Failing to educate oneself is a CHOICE.
The children of such circumstances are children of CHOICE.
BS.
The state requires you to attend school. You don't have a choice not to go.
The state supplied and mandated education given to large segments of the population was intentionally bad. Again not a choice.
Having children is a product of a biological imperative.
