i think its unrealistic to say if you cant afford a kid dont have one, raising a child gets more and more expensive, sending that kid to college is even worse. So are you saying because i might not have the money saved up to be able to put my kid through college at this moment that i shouldnt start to begin with. And what about unexpected cost, you think your gonna raise a perfectly healthy kid, and suddenly that kid has cancer or other major concerns, and has to rely on state help or charity would you tell someone well you should have thought about that before you had kids…..

Or what about the people who do really well in life, decide to have kids then the market plummets they lose thier job and never regain the salary they once made and are suddenly relying on assistance. I mean are you really going to criticize the parents for bringing a kid into the world in those kind of scenarios…
i think there are just TOO MANY possibilities that could happen along the way in life when raising kids to judge someones decision to have them…

Kids are always a risk. A financial risk, an emotional risk, whatever. There’s an ENORMOUS difference between: “right now I can’t put my kid through college” and “I can barely even afford to feed the kids I do have, let alone one more. But what the hell, I will figure it out once it gets here!”. You can’t live your life on: “what if’s” but you have to also have common sense.

Or is it just that poor people shouldn’t have children but also shouldn’t be given the tools to prevent pregnancy?

It isn’t anything to do with people thinking that it is the government’s responsibility to help convince though.
It is society supporting a system that has provisions for people in need. The reason IVF is funded is the same reason that we don’t charge people for their ambulance call out, or for their hospital stay.
The further away the NHS is from a US style system the better.
