[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am probably going to get flamed for this, but I see so many heartbreaking stories of refugees and many have very young children or babies.  I guess I don't really understand if you are in an environment where you need to flee your circumstances why you would continue to have children.  Why would you continue to bring new children into those situations?[/quote]

By want something to want and need them, and a baby provides that to them.  This has been studied for decades in poor countries and in generational poverty groups in America.[/quote]

Those populations are not the same as refugees. You’d be shocked how many refugees are people who were once middle class. This includes women who thought they would be childfree or have two or fewer children. Women who were lawyers, doctors, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Then, something unthinkable happens to force them to seek shelter in another country. These are not women who need a baby because they have nothing else that is their own.[/quote]
