i'm going to keep this as civil as possible so the moderators allow this post: there is a lot of talk on this sub about poor people having children despite not being able to afford them, but what about rich people? rich people are more likely to have access to abortions and contraception, as well as an education on family planning. rich people are less likely to be forced into a lifestyle they do not want, as many vulnerable poor girls are unfortunately sold off to older men and expected to pop out babies, else they have no way of sustaining themselves. and let me try the more valid justification: "we want to make the world a better place!" but being rich = thriving off of capitalism, so they would essentially preach capitalist ideologies that only benefit the bourgeois party. why don't they make the world a better place themselves? an overwhelming amount of them partner with brands that use child labour and fund genocides, which correlates to not caring about children. and rich people who use surrogates? it is ethically wrong, is it not? why do they think they are entitled to inflict pain on a human being? if they cannot conceive, what stops them from adopting a living, breathing, suffering child? after all, women are not machines to be dehumanised and exploited. i see a similar pattern in paid sex work under capitalism.
