It really isn't about whether people can't, but about people's wants.
Nothing economically prevents anyone from having children other than being unable to afford the food to grow one. But as one could imagine, very few people probably want children, if it also meant that they'd be homeless. In other words, someone's want for a house can be greater than their want for a child. And this can go for anything (from spouse, to life circumstances). Again, it's not that most people can't economically, it's more that many people don't want to sacrifice other things that they also want.
- louwrentius 2y agoThis is a terrible argument, becoming homeless is not a reasonable sacrifice, it exactly proves the point that people don’t have kids for economic reasons
- Rury 2y agoIt's not a terrible argument at all. The parent stated "people CAN'T due to economic circumstances". This is false, because they absolutely CAN. But people not WANTING children because of economic reasons, is a separate argument, one which I was not disagreeing with.
