Amazing, isn’t it? People who cannot provide for their children still have them, and if I dare resist paying for their food, toys, education, medical care, etc. they call ME selfish?
We’ve been subsidizing single-mother families for 40 years. What has it gotten us? More of them than ever. I’ve read that in Regency England, as much as 65% of the women never married. (And if they were gentlewomen or ladies, that meant they lived and died as virgins.) Why? Not enough money to marry and raise children. Now if they could manage not to beget children in a time where there was NO birth control and NO safe abortions... why can’t women do it now??
