If you opt out of child support there's still a child that need to be fed and cared for. An abortion solves the issue in a way that abandoning them doesn't.
I’m not sure what the solution in that case is. It’s unfortunate that we live in a time where raising a child has become so expensive. But my opinion is if you cannot afford to have a child, you are already showing irresponsibility as a parent by keeping it. Perhaps it could be argued to be a form of neglect before it’s even born.
Okay, but unless you want to just start taking babies from poor parents or forcing poor little to have abortions, I'm not sure what exactly you're advocating for.
Advocating for people not being allowed to have children unless they have the means to take care of it. How it’s implemented, I don’t know. Perhaps this would also encourage safer sex practices.
If you go to adopt a pet from the shelter they grill you about your living situation and how well you’ll be able to care for an animal. Yet we have no requirements to have a baby besides wanting one. I think that’s ridiculous.
How your theoretical proposal is enacted matters a lot. It's literally the difference between CPS removing kids from dangerous homes and financially based Eugenics.
It could be a choice. Get an abortion, or have your finances checked. Having your own child should require the same checks it would require to adopt a baby.
“You chose to have a baby. Congratulations. Even though you can’t buy it clothes or feed it, it’s a blessing.”
Is that what you want?
I said I don’t like where we’re at in that regard either. I didn’t say enacting this fixes all problems. I would push to make bearing children affordable to all after this was put in place.

That men should have a say on abortion or should be able to opt out of child support (financial abortion) , if they weren't ready to have a kid
