> Having a child pushed her well below the poverty line Although it's not discussed, family planning support (from contraception to abortion) may be as important as good free public transport in supporting vulnerable individuals into getting out of the poverty trap. Not saying people should not have babies just because they're poor, but public services can surely provide the counseling so they can weight consequences of such a decision, means to prevent unwanted pregnancies and freedom to stop them if the mother decides or the prospects change. In this case it's clear the pregnancy was unwanted/unexpected.
