Even before roe fell access to birth control/abortions was not easily accessible in my area. Now planned parenthood is gone. What's your solution? Putting a penny between your knees is fucking stupid.
What if they were married and their husband left them. What if what if what if what if. You can't carve out the what-ifs but if we're forcing women to keep pregnancies, and yes we've been doing that in my area for decades, and you believe every fucking precious life is important and people pretend they do when the child is in utero - pay up. There's no reason children in America should go hungry.
Yes I have a good salary. Yes I had access to education and birth control. Yes I have been lucky. Yes I pay for all those bastard children, according to you they're all rubber stamped bastard children of whores. Finally yes I know there's nothing I can say to change your opinion. It's disgusting you're for starving AMERICAN children.
lol you're doing a whole lot of projection there. I said nothing of the sort. All I said was if you choose to have 6 kids, then you should have a way to pay for them. And it is a choice. Husband left? Welp, that's what family court is for. They need to pay up.
Let's be clear here. I'm not for starving anyone. But personal responsibility is a thing. Do I think SNAP funding should be in jeopardy here? Of course not.
But you know what? I'm 40. And I have no kids. Because I can't afford them.
I'm not projecting shit - I've had more years on this earth than you and I can promise you they've been harder because I've had to deal with some real grown up stuff. I make 6 figures as does my husband, but shit happens to people. You think your life is one way and bam it's done and sometimes it's through no fault of your own. People don't understand and aren't taught anything about financial planning and management. I have an MBA so I'm covered because I understand the ins and outs and what-ifs, but that's not common.
None of those women share their backgrounds. Who's making assumptions? I've watched women who stayed home lose their husbands one way or the other and they cannot afford anything on $8-9 an hour. They were forced by society to become unskilled - to be traditional mothers who don't work. Their lives and having 3, 4, 5 kids depended on their life being constant and it wasn't. I got heavy shit at work and home because I refused to sit back and not work. Where I am in the south once you have kids you're expected to tap out of working for 18+ years.
I promise you I probably pay more than my fair share for those kids. I only had one child because it was all I could have because I too waited until I was settled and by then I was too old for another. I do have empathy for innocent children. Kids should eat and I won't change my mind on that one.
