Not everyone has that choice, sometimes life happens. Heck, what if someone finds themselves in that situation after having kids, then what? You can plan all you want, but there is no guarantee those plans are going to pan out for you.
EVERYONE has the choice to not have children. The saying "life happens" is just a copout. What you should say instead is "bad decisions happen."

Sure, that works too, not everyone in their teens and 20s makes the best choices. I am sure even you made mistakes at that age. How old were you when you had kids?

That is the definition of safety nets, I guess if you are cool with third world poverty and ghettos trapping those at the bottom, there is always that.
Most poor are poor for very clear reasons. If you have no skills, are a drug user, have a criminal record, can't show up on time, can't fill out an application without spelling errors chances are you're poor and are always going to be poor no matter how high smug self righteous social justice warriors push the minimum wage.

My first child was born when I was 30. Sure, I made mistakes in my teens and twenties, but they were my mistakes and I was responsible for the consequences of them.

So are others who make mistakes during those times, but in this country we have safety nets to prevent people from dropping into deep poverty. Clearly some people don't care about that and would rather have third world poverty in the US.
