you’re just framing it wrong families should bring kids in to the world if they couldn’t even afford their basic needs at that point the parents are just irresponsible

It’s one of those things that unfortunately requires some dissidence between personal beliefs and legislation. Yes, it would be great to have less children in poverty, but to accomplish that, we would be restricting reproductive health autonomy. The next best thing is to provide support for the kids, who didn’t ask to be born into poverty.

It is used to justify strategic mass sterilization of oppressed populations

I think this is pretty valid, in the end public services pay for it and that is everybody else that pays taxes.

I dont agree with MOST of eugenics but another one that’s a hot take is that I don’t think people with severe genetic disorders should reproduce… maybe they do live great lives but that doesn’t mean the child will want to live that life. It feels unfair.

Yes that’s what shouldn’t be allowed but when I say this to people they tell me I’m participating in eugenics

Let’s face it, nobody wants to be born into severe poverty and watch their parents financial struggles because of their own poor decisions. Children shouldn’t be the ones fending for themselves they need to be taken care of properly and in this economy being very poor means being unable to provide a proper stable life for children. They will suffer and that can cause an entire life full of hurdles and instability bc they didn’t receive the support they needed at the start.

Also, this is ESPECIALLY relevant in today’s economy where it seems that most of us are prone to struggling even if we’re doing everything “right” by the book. Now imagine being someone born with those extra financial hardships right from birth and having barely any resources or support. They will be trapped in that life.
