Why should we continue birthing children when we already have so many that are insufficiently cared for?

If you, personally, would assume responsibility for this child, great, but otherwise leave it up to the individual.

    The morality of having children at all is a separate point entirely. There are countless ways this could have ended or been prevented long before the fetus was viable outside the womb.
