Even if irresponsible, dropping kids strains not only the tax payers but also earth's resources?

Anti-knockup shots are free.

I would even be so bold as to suggest a higher tax rate on folks with more kids than their income can afford and reward folk, with tax
breaks, who abstain from irresponsible reproduction.

'irresponsible' comes in many forms that cant always be foreseen, and certainly not based upon what someones current income is,,,


I have no evidence the earths resources are 'strained' by births as there is subsequently also people dying,,,,,

I don't support penalizing people for being poor, or their kids,,,
nor a litmus test on an income 'penalty' on the poor who are working just as hard and often harder than the rich

Let me get this straight.
Your fact.
Kids aren't starving?
There's no worldwide food or water shortage?
I look beyond my own back yard and see an extremely over populated world.
A world where birth restrictions are needed.
Responsible birthing can't be trusted to irresponsible people.
Again. If ya can't afford to raise 'em without taxpayer assistance, ya shouldn't be allowed to chit 'em out.

we see different things obviously

I see people being born AND people dying

I see greed causing gluttonous cultures who are able to consume so much individually that they feel entitled regardless of who else has little of anything to consume

that is an issue of politics and human greed, not of parenting responsibilities,,,,

People judge me when i say im 33 with 5 children .but they fail to relize my marrage to my very wealthly husband lasted only 11 years as when we were tryin for number 5 and final i was raped and it turned out to be the rapist my huband couldnt cope with this and wanted the child to be adopted at 9 weeks only which i coulnt do . Since then ive married again and been with him 5 yrs . I have had a full time job from 17 yrs old only dropping to part time when heavyly pregant . Some times i wish men for see me as me and im not looking for a daddy to my children mine are lucky to have 1 . But seems the norm i cant support my children with out benifits and there dad plays a part in there lives but i want 1 too .

I think a family is a unit where everyone should feel compelled to do their part,, even the kids

I do see where there can be a balance struck between parents, who have to leave the home and work to take care of financial support, and kids who have no such requirement or other contribtion being expected to look after each other during those times

if that bond is formed,, its natural that they may just naturally tend to look after each other all the time,,which I don't see as a bad thing

UNLESS kids are not given time to have their own individual space and activity,,,ie, there is not a BALANCE of responsibility and privilege for the kids

but now, I see kids with far more privileges and parents who feel guilty for giving them any more than a minimum of responsibilities in return,,,,

Sometimes, when we think we are finished with having children . . . SURPRISE ... my 17 year old daughter has an adorable baby . . . therefore . . . my life changed again. That is one thing you can count on . . . is change.

Regardless of the who, what, and why . . . here we are . . . life goes on and we make the best of it.

I worked 7 years for Child Protective Services in Texas. I have seen some unGodly things done to children. I wonder how they are doing now - in custody of the state - with foster parents - who are at times - the best thing for them.

But, still. It is life changing for the children and their futures and I know it lingers psychologically - forever. No matter how much therapy they get. How can they forget what was done to them or around them. Unfortunately the abuse is cyclical too.

I think would have been better if less people got children, but the ones who do, got many! As long as you can feed them and stuff, I don`t see the problem.
