First of all, let me ask for something: If you disagree with me, please, just don't read it, if your interested in knowing better my point of view, I'm happy if you can do it without attacking me or something ...
"Why do you think this?"
Look: Let's make up a scenario: there's a guy, and a woman who are both very poor, they want a child, BUT, if your poor you can't even pay your own food, or clothes, or something. So, why do you wanna have a kid? Ok, it can be your dream, but are you SURE you gonna provide good education, adequate food, comfort for your child? If you can't survive just yourself, WHAT THE HELL makes you think you can make a kid happy in such a miserable situation????
For me, people who have the conscience of their current situation, (talking specifically poor people) should have one drop of empathy to NOT bring up a kid to this world, if they do, that's purely selfishness.
"But it's my dream to have a kid!!"
Do you think is the kid's dream to live on the streets? To suffer from bullying? To not have food almost everyday? To not have an appropriate education? To suffer for years until if they are lucky, they will have someday a great life, and be proud of themselves. But everyone should have a happy life without any severe fight. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIGHT TO LIVE, THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY SINCE THE FIRST SECOND OF THEIR BIRTH.
"So you're saying poor people shouldn't exist?"
Yes, I am. But i'm not trying to say "K11LL ALL THE POOR POEPLE!!" after all, they have no fault of being in their situation, but, before they have a child, what about they try to change their situation? You know... Just for a more convincing condition to have a child.
AND SOMETHING I'VE NOTICE: POOR PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE, LIKE, 3+ CHILDS. (????????)
And the situation is: The older kids having to give up from the school because they need to help with the house. They're not only giving up their education, but also giving up from their childhood. The younger ones, making their parents suffering even more, but isn't the kids fault, is because their parents need to always refuse to buy something cool for their kids, because they have no money. The kids will have to grow up faster. Will have to skip their childhood phase, which is the best phase of our lives.

I agree. But in a way we also have to acknowledge that as humans, we are often told from birth that our purpose is to go to school, get a job, find a partner, get married and have kids. Some people do not see life as much more than that, sadly. Something we should keep in mind as well is that when children are born into poverty, it may not be the mother's choice. There can be several conflicts such as not having the money for a contraceptive, not being allowed abortions or the father forcing the mother to keep the baby... but that is also why condoms were invented. If they live in an area that offers abortions or contraceptives, and they have the money for it, there's no excuse.
If someone does not have the money for condoms or contraceptives, they don't have a smidgen of the money required to have and raise a baby.
I try to have sympathy for most people but I do not have any for the people who made stupid and reckless decisions to have a baby despite not having enough money for themselves, let alone a baby. I do believe that loving environments can be born from poor households where the parents do everything they can for their child, but a lot of the time that just doesn't happen. They're born into households afflicted with addiction, crime, neglect and filth. I can't say that for every situation, but when do you see a poor household that doesn't have one of those things?
I've spoken to people who were born poor. Their parents were either addicts or felons (or both) who couldn't find or keep a job, abuse and neglect occurred in some of their houses. The substances their parents exposed them to would sometimes return later in their lives and they would become addicted as well. It creates a cycle of misery, a child raised in a household of addicts and felons will likely keep it going until they die or the next person to be born puts a stop to it.
I do not think people who bring children into this world when they lack the responsibility to raise a child deserve sympathy. I have sympathy for the children, not for the parents.
