PS: The point here is NOT that poor people shouldn't have kids, it's that no one should be having kids without having the basics of childcare covered, which necessitates widespread systemic, societal, and economic change so that no parent needs to worry about those basics, and kids can grow up in secure, healthy environments. I completely forgot to mention this when I originally posted it, and that's my bad.
Okay... But there's so much more to life than that.
People work jobs they enjoy, have relationships, have experiences and generally love living.
To arbitrarily deny someone existence because of a shadow focused view of the world or an imagined joyless experience is at best pessimistic and at worst a projection of the parents fears onto the imaginary child.
I shouldn't exist. Due to medical complications during pregnancy my mother was advised to abort me. She gave birth to me and instead raised me badly ๐คฃ
I'm glad that's the way it happened. Life is hard sometimes but it's also wonderful a lot of the time.
The issues you name are real, as real as the joys and pleasures of existence.
There's a reason even mad Max fights to survive. Because even that world is better than not existing. If he wasn't born, he doesn't get to make that choice.
