These mental gymnastics. It cannot be the man’s fault if he says he doesn’t want the child but she chooses to have the child she doesn’t have the resources to take care of. I’m so sick and tired of this. In 2026, woman can and should be held accountable for placing children in impoverished conditions where access to abortion and etc is available.

Impregnating is one thing, but choosing to carry for 9 months is another. If you have access to abortion, then it ultimately falls on you. Women have equal rights now and there’s no need to infantilize them when it comes to this basic concept: don’t have kids you can’t take care of. Choosing to have sex does not mean you are choosing to have a child!

As someone who is living this life, your comment is dismissive. Saying that I can still succeed whilst glossing over that fact that it would be extremely more difficult because there are no social safety nets is just gross. Cherry picking examples can be done all day but the truth of the matter is that making it out of the hood doesn’t doesn’t stop at graduating from college; it means materially starting from 0 with no assets, no favors, no phoning in a parent for help, no loan from dad

i’m literally in ur exact situation as a first generation american. and while it fucking sucks you don’t see me complaining about it, either do something or not. it’s not cherry picking either there’s many successful stories in the US, but you guys put yourself in a box and then complain that you can’t get out of the box. it’s not like ur a child miner in a 3rd world country where the minimum salary is 5k a year, you have a way

that’s not glossing as i acknowledged it’s extremely difficult, it’s just not impossible.

Piss off, you not complaining doesn’t stifle my right to do so. In fact, it just makes you more of a sheep. And it is cherry picking because the stories are RARE and highly individualized. And I never put myself in a box! I obviously worked extremely hard to make it out of the hood, move to the opposite side of the country, and make the best of it. I cannot oppress myself. All of you immigrant assholes who come over here thinking that you’ve got it figured out. Like listen to yourself.

That’s great! Now magic up some legal abortions and insurance coverage that doesn’t have the right to refuse birth control.

Listen to yourself: you acknowledge that it’s extremely difficult. I need you to understand that the obstacles placed before us are not meant to be overcome. They are meant to stop us. So why blame me for the obstacle placed in front of me? Especially when I’ve already tried my best just to overcome the ones before.

The man is equally to blame because she wouldn’t have gotten pregnant if he didn’t provide sperm. Have you considered that people in poverty might not have access to safe abortions?

Anonymous OP 7w

ok..let’s not act like coming from bad beginnings to middle class or even low middle class is extremely rare, at least that’s what i mean by succeeding at the very least. no one’s doubting the crushing experience under capitalism but ppl can succeed or make by. you getting out of the hood is an example of that and ur mother becoming a ICU nurse

And the goalpost has moved! The fact is that women do have the right abortion. We just don’t hold them accountable for having children they can’t take care of. I’m not blaming women for having sex or becoming impregnated. I’m blaming them for BIRTHING children into resource deserts.

I am well aware, this is why I said that women should be held accountable if they do have access to abortion services. And impregnating is one thing, choosing to carry is another.

my highschool was literally the poorest and lowest rank in our county + state but MANY students went on pre-nursing, pre-law, engineering etc with like a good portion of the population being low income so no it’s not rare, and I don’t mean for this to sound like just because of my situation is different That’s the overall rule but I’ve seen this situation in many other places too?? not everyone gets handouts from their parents but they find housing esp with low income housing programs now

How many of them graduated? And what low income housing programs are you talking about? No scratch that. We all need affordable housing. After taxes I make 76k a year and rent is 3000+ a month!? wtf are you talking about??

Anonymous #2 7w

Doing better than half doesn’t mean I’m not struggling. Also what’s the point of sowing division between me and the rest of america that also feeling this financial struggle? IMO, I’m on their side. Also, you do realize that that me moving to a more affordable area would also require me to get another job close enough for me to commute there which would mean a paycut, right? One thing that no one talks about is that moving to a place where you make more money using the same skill set just mea

The truth is that there are documented disparities as well as systemic cruelties against people like me that asshats like you like to just dismiss and act like don’t count. But they do matter. And as a first generation American, it’s likely that your family was wealthy before they even immigrated here. You’re a fraud. You didn’t make it from nothing.

That’s not real poor. First of all the fact that she has the infrastructure to support her to 95 years of age. The fact that you just brush over that. This means she receives really good care from the people around her likely her family who can financially afford to keep her alive. That’s why it’s idiotic to compare me to your dying grandma.

Regardless, I am the only one in my family that made it. And I never sat here and said that it wasn’t hard enough for the rest of America. I can recognize that my hard work and the fact that I’m smarter than most of you needle brains has eft me better off, but I can still acknowledge financial strife. Rent is 3400 dollars not including utilities! It should be cheaper for all of us.
