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.

If you can't have children without enough financial support from a simple job or your government, then you're in a shit society that needs to get its workers rights and public wellfare up up up until you can have at least three children without thinking about if you can financially support them.

Having children if you want them is not selfish, it's a prerequisite to continue society.

    Exactly!

    We have crested a society that id create d ny humans but thst is also hostile to humans too! THATS exactly why so many developed nations(and even some Global South nations too) have xperienced decreases in sex rates and birth rates. Why give birth in a hostile society that is actually trying to kill you?.....Why have we chosen to do this and continue doing this?
