[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also I Googled Stephanie Land and turns out that as she was finishing college and slowly climbing out of poverty she had ANOTHER daughter without a partner... what’s up with poor people and babies?![/quote]

You really do not understand the cycle of poverty. Her body, her choice means you butt out of the choice part, even if it’s not the choice you would make for yourself or the choice you would make if you were her.

Lol, okay. You make no sense …[/quote]

" On a photo of my youngest, who was about 5 at the time, smiling while eating ice cream, someone commented how terrible it was to get pregnant when you can’t afford your kids. I had been off government assistance for three years."

So, yes, people on assistance do get pregnant. And some people not on assistance but with marginal financial security get pregnant and then do require assistance. And some working poor have kids although they get by without, or are just over income limits to qualify for, direct assistance (although they may get EIC). Not sure how much you think a person should have to earn to be able to afford a child, but last year 67k was the median income, and if only people over that median had kids we'd have even more demographic issues with the workforce than we already do.

I was marginal but not on assistance when I got pregnant, I did end up requiring help because the father was not reliable and I didn't earn enough myself. I was also 34 and had not had a child and felt this might be my only chance. Child care and medical coverage were absolutely the biggest financial issues in my case--things which some countries simply provide to everyone. I could get by with everything else. [/quote]
