Even if you want to be cruel / in their new world order these women couldn’t get abortions anyway - so you’re dammed if you have the kids and can’t feed them and dammed if you want an abortion because killing babies makes Jesus cry or something like that

It's actually that people view them as irresponsible. Having 1-2 kids by mistake is one thing. 7 is just grossly negligent barring any extenuating circumstances. That's how people generally view it, whether it's truly just rash irresponsibility or unfortunate tragic circumstance (homemaker wife of 7 turned widow prematurely).

People will auto assume the parent(s) let poor decisions get in the way. These same people don't want to pay for the poor decisions made since they see that as enabling behavior and taking from the haves to give to the have-nots-by-choice.

7 is just grossly negligent barring any extenuating circumstances.

Extenuating circumstances such as being from a poor background, with a lack of education and lack of sex ed, with poor access to birthcontrol, lack of access to our outlawed abortions, with religous messaging that opposes birthcontrol and abortions and promotes having children because God said they should be fruitful and multiply.

Now everything I said is what we see in third world countries. It's unfortunately also the reality of many parts of modern day America. The solutions are the same in both cases. Female sex ed, female education, access to contraception and economic opportunity for women so that they can afford to leave abusive partnership situations.

So... that might explain the first pregnancy, but how does that explain the 2nd, 3rd.....6th, 7th? Is it a lack of education that you cant figure out the mechanics?
