The main point though, is that those with the most capability are very often the ones who self filter themselves. Leading to more poverty, as the less capable over breed themselves into crime statistics. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] UnequalExchange@lemmy.world 1 point 2 days ago (3 children) But I also remember reading somewhwre that poorer women in the usa were the most likely ones to seek and get an abortion as in they make up the ovverwhelming majority of abortions successfully gotten in the usa , isnt that still true? So doesnt that kinda show that poorer people also self-filter themselves frequently vause they understand that they just dont have the means to take care of a new mouth to feed? Now, I dont have statistics for what abortion access and abortion eagerness looks like globally for different women amd other people with uteri so you can take that with a grain of salt. So I feel like there is some filtering at all levels of people of all wealth levels , all IQ levels, and of all eagerness-to-be-a-parent levels permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 1 point 1 day ago (2 children) Fertility is a U shape across income. High birth rates for the very poor, and very rich, not so much in the middle. At the moment, the largest absolute number of births is in the middle class, due to that being the largest demographic, not the most fertile. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] UnequalExchange@lemmy.world 1 point 1 day ago (1 child) do you have anything to cite for that please? cause that sounds like an interesting read that I NEEEED please. I wanaa see the authors admit it. I wanna see the authors admit that rhe reason that poor people have a higher birth rate than the middle class is cause they are too poor to access things like sterilizations, abortions and birth controls and therefore we can conclude that a notable number of poor people are probably suffering as regretful parents as a result of their lack to access to what they needed. But theyll also have to admit that on the other hand rich people have a higher birth rate than the middle class cause theyre happier and have more resources to help them raise those kids than the middle class. This will prove that the socialists were completepy correct - that we need to create a classless society. Cause if you have asociety where everyone has equal access to resources and birth controls the birth rate will be at or above replacement level cause all humans will have access to what they need to life their type of happy fulfilling life as we did in the past when birth rates actually were at or above replacement levels. The poorer childfrre people will have equal access to sterilizations and birth controls thus preventing all of them from ever becoming regretful parents and the slightly poorer and rich eager-to-be-parents will have enough resources to produce and raise as many children as they see fit. Id find it hard to believe that we wouldnt be at or above replacement levels with that many kids being born. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 1 point 19 hours ago Stop making assumptions.
