[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll preface this by saying I don’t condone taking away the SNAP benefits. What I don’t understand is why every person interviewed in these articles has so many children. It’s always ‘a 21 year old single mother of 3’ or ‘she and her husband are both 25, unemployed, and expecting their first child.’ I totally understand that situations can change drastically, but it doesn’t seem to be the case here.

Idk…it just frustrates me because my husband and I want children, make good money, chose a modest townhome in an area people on this site look down on in anticipation of paying out the a$$ for childcare…and we still don’t feel financially comfortable having a child. I don’t understand why people are bringing kids into the world without a plan to feed them. It makes me angry. I know very few people with 3 or 4 kids. [/quote]

It’s a good argument for making birth control and abortion free and readily accessible.

But republicans want women to have more kids. Oh…not THESE women. [/quote]

Medicaid provides birth control, you can buy it OTC now too or condoms. Many states also have free birth control programs.  Birth control is extremely accessible [/quote]

Correct, but self-control is in limited supply.  Currently, we use tax dollars to reward irresponsible people who have children they cannot afford.  Given relative birth rates, there will be a real problem in the future when we have too many takers and not enough makers.  Abortion, while something that should be widely and freely available, is not enough to fix this.  We have to be mean and cut off the takers now or the scale of the adjustment in the future will be far worse.  [/quote]
