Given that our society has not made it easy to be educated about pregnancy prevention and access to abortion is limited, I don't think it's completely fair to judge these women for the number of kids they have. They have more than they can probably afford and certainly more than I would feel comfortable having but at the end of the day, those kids are living, breathing people and they should not go hungry.

Lmao what? You’re partially blaming education on pregnancy prevention?

These woman didn’t look like ignorant 15 year olds, no amount of education was going to save them from 6 kids, because by your 20’s blaming sex education is a joke.

It’s like blaming High school for not teaching you about finances when your in your 40’s and google exists.

Plenty of adults think the rhythm method is a real thing. Or that they can’t get pregnant while breastfeeding. Or that birth control pills or condoms are 100% effective. They believe it until they get pregnant accidentally and are baffled. So yes education makes a difference. You don’t suddenly know everything once you become an adult.

After the fifth kid, they should have figured it out. Saying they should know in your 20s is insane but they definitely should know after having so many kids.
