No. You cannot make that argument. Not in the slightest. It is an appalling and abhorrent argument. Suppose after having the children, one partner turned abusive. You would have them stay in that relationship. You would say it was a choice. And for that, you are deplorable.
- hutzlibu 10y agoIt was still their choice to make children together. But people can make mistakes, yes. So I never sad they must stay together, and in the case of abuse, I believe there are laws for that. But others (in general) are still not responsible for a family going down, out of their bad planning/judgement whatever. (Main point is still income btw.) But (for the 3. time) society still can and should help, because it is nice to be nice, but not if the niceness is demanded.
- ctdonath 10y agoProblem is, there are subcultures which encourage family breakdown, which normalize it, which see it as the means to eliciting revenue from the state. If it's a true aberration, others should be willing to help out. If it's normalized social behavior, something is systemically wrong with the culture.
