    Are you quoting facts from Idiocracy right now???

    Are you sure that, since there are proportionally more poor people in the world, you aren’t just forming an availability bias?

    And besides that, poor people are more likely to get pregnant from rape without the ability to terminate the pregnancy. If that is not enough they also have less access to reproductive healthcare, reproductive education, abortions, birth control, and prophylactics.

    You’ve mentioned you’re a anti-capital, yet you see impoverished children as the fault of the parents who have them as opposed to the system that creates poverty in the first place. Capitalism demands cheap labor which means there are a ton of incentives built into it for procreation. Families don’t just choose to be poor.
