[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^I know, right?

I never paid for IVF or therapy or anxiolytics.  Wow, good for you!  Some people don't have an option, at least if they want a shot at the life they want to live or even to be reasonably functional in society (re: therapy and meds).

Talk about a compassion-free post. [/quote]

LOL!!  Talk about having blinders on!! Your own privilege is showing.

Some people do not have the option to pay for IVF, therapy and formula because they are that poor. Get some perspective.  When you have the money and the means and when these  things are in your realm of possibilities - then it does not matter if they are affordable or a splurge. If you want it, you can make it happen.

Middle class people needs to understand that there are others who are "poorer" than them and to them these are signs of privileges.

Do you know people who just cannot afford to go to college not because they cannot afford the tuition but because they have to earn enough daily to feed their families first? Do you know of people who are too poor to divorce? Do you know of people who are too poor to go to work because they cannot pay the bus-fare?  Do you know people who will never buy bottled water because it is too expensive? I know people like these.

Hey, have y'all seen the poor kids in cages separated from parents with aluminium foil blankets?  That's compassion-free circumstances. Being able to pay for IVF, therapy, baby formula - these are all splurges to people who are struggling to survive.
