The poorest do because they have little education in terms of contraception and safe sex, they have low standards for QoL for their kids and just hump away like mammals without thinking about the future and the conditions their kids will have to live in, and sometimes hold conservative religious views which usually shun contraception and abortions and promote endless breeding, but the educated middle class, or what's left of it anyway, practice safe sex and want good living conditions and a bright future for their kids, both of which are vanishing.

- ChuckNorris89 4y agoSociety doesn't care about helping to procreate the educated. For society, you're just a number in an balance sheet, you're just a consumer and a tax payer, cannon fodder for the economy basically. Your country needs more and more numbers in that balance sheet, to funnel into the economic meat grinder, and whether those extra numbers come from your offspring or from someone else's, it's irelevant to them.
