In some places (esp those with low access to birth control and sub-par sexual health education), there are too many unplanned children being born to people who do not have the means to comfortably raise a child without being in poverty.
Free/low-cost birth control and better sex ed are proven to reduce these instances substantially.
- hammock 11mo agoIf someone has the means to comfortably raise a child without being in poverty do they still need free childcare then?
- dafelst 11mo agoOften programs like this are subsidized based on income such that if they can afford it, it is subsidized less, or you do not qualify past a certain income. That is one method of managing the program's costs, while still benefitting those who are most heavily affected. This program doesn't appear to do that, but many do. I am not sure what point you are trying to make though.
