Well I posted before because I work at a health clinic where we see a ton of lower income women who do churn out babies.  So I can only speak from my experience.

But that's like a podiatrist posting about how everybody has foot problems. Or an oncologist posting about how everybody has cancer.[/quote]

People don't ask for foot problems or cancer.  [/quote]

Nope.  Actually it would be more like a podiatrist posting about a patient who gets super cheap pedicures at a shady nail salon.  Patient always gets a foot fungus, yet keeps going back there month after month.

This is something in that patient's control.  She can choose to quit going there or she can continue to go there (kinda stupid) and continue to get foot infections.

Getting pregnant is similarly a choice to some extent.  And it it a choice that some ooor women continue to make over and over despite the fact that they cannot support the kids they already have.

They see it as simple as that they will get additional money (via WIC, via SNAP, whatever) with an additional kid.  Not completely thinking it through and thinking about the added emotional and financial expense.

I have no doubt that if we made it more of an immediate financial benefit to not have kids, that would help immensely.[/quote]
