Not in the situation and not a majority of the time. If a person really love someone and they want their children to grow up in a good environment they don't have kids they can't afford. it's not fair to the parents, the child or their hard working neighbors who are paying for their children and someone else's. It's completely irresponsible.
Sex is in fact HARD WIRED into our brains. As is the desire to have children. Trying to claim otherwise is ignoring reality based upon your preferred preconceptions.
But lets assume it wasn't shall we? Lets think of a world where the people unable to afford it stopped having children. You would quite literally doom our race. About 10% of the US could afford children.
You would end up dooming 99% of humanity in the end I suspect.
sex is hard wired, rich or poor. pregnancy happens even when one is on birth control, many people rich and poor do not believe in abortion. being poor does not automatically discount you from having a family to love, nor should it.
I'd feel a lot more love if you'd pay for your own offspring though.
People who have kids they can't afford are taking from the children of the people who work.

Fine with me. I don't feel a need to keep the planet teeming with humans just for the sake of it. I'd rather that the humans forced to exist here be cared for properly without burdening others who never had a say in the parents' decision to breed.
again, should...just because they should doesn't mean they do. if BC was more available, abortion and religious objections to both BC and abortion, less poor women would be having babies.
When it comes to birth control, very few American Catholics listen to the Pope.
millions of Catholics do not use BC nor would they have abortions based on their faith.
Yep, the Catholic faith. Even though the Scalia's could afford their kids, as Catholics they used no BC:
Quote:
“Well, we didn’t set out to have nine children. We’re just old-fashioned Catholics, you know? Playing what used to be known as ‘Vatican roulette,'” Antonin Scalia joked to 60 Minutes in 2008.
Why do low wage workers have children they can't afford?
Maybe they once were mid/high wage workers, lost their job for a variety of reasons that could happen to you and I, couldn't get another mid/high wage job, and had to settle for whatever was available.

I don't think these people are the ones we worry about.......it's the ones who have children already knowing they will not be paying any bills, bringing any school supplies and never volunteering to help out during school time.
Along with the men who walk away from the whole family when things don't work out......men should have to pay for every one of the kids they produce, until the children are 18.
