Life finds a way. Do you want me to explain deeper into how a married man and woman living together end up making babies? To be fair. Our third was an accident and it was a hard decision to go through with it. Also, with each child a momentary boost or good news was had monetarily that would soon become moot.

And if starting out wealthy is all you seem to think should drive humans having children, consider how many people have fallen into poverty or are living paycheck to paycheck that would have otherwise not had children. The economy would collapse.

That statement is a criticism of the economy, not a justification for having kids anyways. It’s literally one of the main driving forces behind falling fertility rates.

Of course, we’re apparently going to try the handmaid’s tale before we ever consider that maybe making life easier and better for parents and children alike is the solution. Until that conservative wet dream happens, vasectomies are cheap, reliable if you can follow simple instructions, and not easily taken away by the party of “small government”
