Why do people still, I mean still have children, when they cannot afford children:?

Stupidity, laziness, greed.  They would rather live off of the state than go to work.  Many girls get pregnant out of stupidity and laziness.  They don't take their pills correctly, adn they can't be bothered to use condoms.  There are things to give them a hand UP but they would rather have the hand OUT.

1. There are some parentst that are too selfish to pay child support and really just don't care...\n2. There are some parents who are angry and irritated at the fact they are being forced to pay such high child support and really can't afford it so they run from it\n3. Some parents try to get more leverage by withholding child support when the other parent is withholding visitation to the child\n4. Some parents get angry when they see the ex spending child support on anything and everything BUT the child that is having child support paid, and the parent can't afford the thousands of dollars it would take to get custody of the child\n\n  So, there are jerks, cowards, and good people that don't pay child support.   \n There are also jerks, cowards and good people that have custody of their kids.  It is really hard to call all parents who don't pay child support dead-beats.

You are not alone.  I am the primary caregiver for my three kids.  I do everything you can imagine.  It is sad b/c as the cost of living gets higher that means whoever makes the income has to work harder(less time to help you)The the cost of daycare is ridiculous

If they wanted you to have health care, they would give it to you in some way that was affordable and effective.  The fact is, in their paradigm, if you cannot afford it, you shouldn't have it.  It is difficult to accept this as reality, but it is true.  They say they are pro-life, but as you show here, when it comes to supporting life, they are nowhere to be found.  That is their health care plan.

well obviously children deserve it.  they are not capable of going out and purchasing insurance or obtaining a job that provides insurance. they are totally dependent, and if parents cannot provide this it becomes responsibility of the country to step in and foot the bill.  my son receives a medical card b/c the simple fact that i cannot possibly afford to pay $565/month to add him to my insurance at the moment.  i'm not proud of this and i'm looking at alternative plans, but sometimes us single parents have to swallow our pride and ask for help, and i'm sorry that some people take total advantage of what our gov't is willing to help us with

I seriously doubt there is assistance available for single mothers who want to live on their own.  I do believe there is birth control available for these same people, so they don't exacerbate their own problem with even more dependents.

Cause life's unfair... some get a lot and some get nothing at all. Situations make people that way

I think people seem aggravated a lot because they are frustrated. They don't have the time that our parents had when we were young, because most families have both parents working now. They wish they had the time, the money, and the abilities to do more for their kids and themselves.....

Because they are greedy and they will never have enough. God gives you what you need not what you want. They should be happy with that!!

Would it ever occur to you that some people DONT WANT TO have kids? Not everyone is out there wanting to just be a baby machine. Some people want to have a career or travel and have other priorities that do not include having children.\n\nAnd just because you decide to not have children does not mean you should stay single. Doesn't everyone deserve to be happy?\n\nNot everyone should have children - should someone who is addcited to crack (but is married) have kids? Uhhh probably not.\n\nDon't be so closed minded.

However much it takes you to live within your means...if you're waiting to have enough money to have kids...you could be waiting a long time.  No matter what you plan for some unexpected money always seems to come out that pocket.

I would life in poverty rather than risk my children's lives.  Leaving their children behind like that doesn't say much about the Mexican parents.\n\nAnd, if you cannot afford children then why multiple exponentially?

Unfortunately, there is strong and heated debate with little headway.\n\nSome would argue that this country supports poor ( needy ) families that seem to bring more children, and needs upon themselves.\nMany of these families make a strong case against themselves when they abuse help programs by claiming more children than they have, working cash jobs and collecting, selling food stamps for drugs while their children are not fed.\n\nStill others will claim that it is not ethical to suppress a humans most inherent instinct, to procreate.\n\nThere is far too much drug abuse and careless sex, resulting in unwanted or unmanageable pregnancies. Still many of the young expectant mothers are entitled to aid, especially when a child is involved. The new parents find there is income with the child and keep it. Far too often the income does little or no good for the child.\n\nI do not think you are crazy, I do think we need far more sophisticated checks and balances.

The people that need it the most get more. They can't be expected to pay as much as everyone else when they don't make as much. And even though they might get more money, they're still struggling equally as hard to compensate for the lack of income that they already have. See if you can get a loan from a bank if you really need more money or pick up a job. Don't worry about how much money everyone else gets, just concentrate on getting your work done and finishing school.

No they are not , because they use money givin to them to help fix building problems and thier own supplys to keep it running . And whatever is left might help some with gas , bills , $25 gift cards excetra . And when you go to get food they don't give enough for how many you have in your family , they make it very complicating to even get help , because of people who lie to get more have ruined it . But they ruined it because thier family was starving . I think that if rich people dug deep into thier own pockets , go door to door , or watch at grocery stores and watch the people around you , you can tell if a person is really is in need or not - take the time to turn and say QUIETLY  " I know you need more than that and I am able to help your family , no strings attached " I would start crying if someone said that to me , and I would take the help - other than going to a food bank . They don't even give food that goes with any of the food they have givin , but they expect you to make 3-4 meals for 5-8 people out of nothing but canned foods mostly . I could go on and on - sorry !
