Do you think people should have children if they can't afford to take care of them?

I understand your question. I do think people should consider if they can afford a baby & completely care for it. Having large families into poverty does seem irresponsible. Like you, I realize it is their choice to make but education on the cost & care of babies with easy birth control access could have millions of children not only from hunger & cold but also the life of crime that is more common in poverty. (no I do not think the poor are all the evils of life but it has been proven they are more likely to go to prison than middle cl Americans). Everyone has a right to children but rewarding a woman by giving her a "pay raise" for having yet another baby she can not afford is not a solution to children's poverty.
