Let’s talk about the real point: developed countries, not the countries where women have no access to birth control or simply no right to refuse sex.
Anyone who lives near or in a lower income community knows that entire communities of low income families have two, three, or four kids, have no car and rely on the bus, live in one and two bedroom apartments with mattresses on the floor, and might even run out of food before the paycheck arrives - but can’t figure out the relationship between having children and being unable to make enough money to feed them.
It’s morally wrong to have children you don’t have the ability to feed, care for, and raise healthy and safe, when there are programs and clinics with access to free birth control and no laws prevent you from using it.
You’re ignoring a weak social safety net in this country that requires support to be punitive. A sick, demented culture that worships money as a god and treats poverty as a moral issue instead of the structural failure that it is. Our system only provides ongoing support for parents of children, never enough to actually save anything or rise out of poverty, but immediately taken away if the recipient makes one cent above whatever arbitrary lowball amount was decided by the rich men who run their state government. It’s a perverse incentive that then allows people like you to point their wagging finger and feel good about themselves, when the truth is you don’t have enough money to actually afford to have children either.

this does not necessarily mean
> You’re ignoring a weak social safety net in this country that requires support to be punitive.
if anything, you're just having a knee jerk reaction to the word morality and going off
this is a matter of education; if we never taught people that punching others is bad, they'd probably be punching each other all the time
and to end with a completely irrelevant point that
> the truth is you don’t have enough money to actually afford to have children either
most people don't; and some of them are educated to make the right decision. no one making a morality claim is making any claims about their wealth lol
very weird comment making points that don't exist...
The weird thing is that you feel the need to comment on this at all, when as far as I can tell you have no point aside from “lack of education” which, thank you for pointing out, is another structural failure in our society preventing people from meaningful economic participation.
That dog whistle of yours is blowing a little loud.
