We don't know the circumstances of someone working three jobs with three children - maybe they had a good job, maybe they were married to someone who also had a good job, maybe life was going swimmingly until someone in their family got cancer and bankrupted them or their spouse died or their employer closed and down and because it's Baltimore it was tough to find another decent job.
Better to figure out how we can support these people so that their lives aren't filled with such abject suffering than to say "they (retroactively) shouldn't have kids."

- m8s 6y agoI agree, I'd love for this to not happen in the future. Let's provide extensive family planning education, those are excellent ideas. Let's also help those that have been left behind though. We have the ability to help everyone.
