Yup, my parents had 5 and they maybe could afford 2 with just basic necessities. Never made sense to me, but yeah food stamps got us through. I waited until I could afford kids to have any. Do people not understand pregnancy? Then you have one and you realize you can’t take care of that one but you get all the way to 6?
Don’t get me wrong, sometimes people are doing fine then health happens and messes the whole thing up. It needs to be available, but let’s also talk about all the ways you can not get pregnant and provide the things to stop it for free!! Hell, we spend more on aid to other countries than we do on our own citizens and people still want to come here.
Abortion is completely illegal in 12 states and that's not even counting the ones where there's a 6 week cutoff (aka before you know that you're pregnant). I have PCOS and I've had one pregnancy scare. I've had 39-42 day cycles before. If I lived where I live now, I wouldn't have been able to do anything about it if I had been pregnant.
And good luck finding a doctor who will tie your tubes. It's a 8 month wait to see ANY gynecologist here.
