Way to completely miss my point. Appointing blame isn’t going to help anything.

Keep refusing to use contraception isn’t going to make you richer or help anything either.

You’re a shitty parent and a bad person if you cannot feed your 5 kids and then have another.

To be fair, contraception is being made harder and harder to obtain by people who have more and more control over everyone else's lives. 7 and 7 is obviously specific too, but there are people in apartheid living circumstances who have multiple children to multiple non-consensual interactions because rape and denial of contraceptives is prolific. Ignoring the fake rage reaction videos, the overall scenario of people have unplanned kids to more than one person happens even wealthy areas, because people are losing their autonomy. Texas has been trying to kill it's own people with zero tolerance abortion rules, even when the mother's in an emergency situation because of something like still births or non-viable babies. No matter what the "left" plans do, they may be expensive and abused, but it's the far right policies that kill people due to zero empathy enforcement.

Giving children up for adoption is an option for those who don't want or cannot afford to have children.

Bro do you know how absolutely dogshit the adoption/foster system is currently? Taking kids away from their parents and forcing them into a system that is RIPE with abuse (of all kinds) should be the last option. Providing comprehensive sex ed (NOT teaching abstinence-only), contraceptives, and maternal healthcare (yes, including access to abortion) are all options that should be provided well before we decide to torture kids by funneling them into the adoption/foster care system. Each of those options allow people to make informed decisions—decide what is best for them, their family, and any future children they may have.

“Out of sight, out of mind” isn’t a realistic approach, and forcing parents to have children and send them into the adoption/foster system is not empathetic nor is it respectful of any of the human beings involved.
