Most people don’t set out to have children they can’t afford. Unforeseen circumstances arise, that might force them into a situation that makes it seem like the way gave birth without proper plan to the child or children. Only women can have children. So, if you’re referring to women that have children, and are in a predicament, of having to rely on assistance, then perhaps you should be directing your question to men.
Another reason for this, is religious teachings. Some religions, don’t allow the use of contraception. One religion, I know of, teaches the women, to always fulfill their husbands urges. Not using those words, but the implications are there. I don’t want to point out the religions, with these teachings. So there are numerous reasons, why parents are forced, to ask for help. So maybe we should not point fingers, but find solutions. If there were child care policies in place to help these families, so they can work full time, I’m sure it would be less, then continue giving them welfare, which is rife with abuses.
People have kids because they can’t afford not to.
Do you know some people are too poor to even afford birth controls? Although condoms help but not all the time, the men don’t often care since they’re not the ones getting pregnant. Either that or they find condoms to be uncomfortable.
The lack of sex education in schools is also a major contributor to this. People in power don’t want others to be so smart that the poor overpower the rich. Thus, they get them to believe that birth control and abortions are sins, and the sex education leads teens to have more sex. Unfortunately, it works out for them, because the lack of sex education means more teens have more unprotected sex. More unprotected sex means more pregnancies, and more pregnancies without abortions mean more kids being born, especially in poverty. More kids in poverty means more poor people being unable to afford even the basics, thus repeating this vicious cycle. The result is more kids for the rich to take advantage of and dispose when they are done.
