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.

Grew up poor. Still happy to be born. Parents grew up in even worse conditions in their old country during and after a war. Pretty sure they're okay with having been born.

You can choose to not have kids for whatever reason. You don't need to justify it or rationalize it.
