It gets expensive if you need a C Section, but there are instances where your insurance could cover almost the entire cost. So it would be more expensive for blue collar workers, but white collar workers would have it cheaper due to the better insurance on average.
No, I wasn't being sarcastic. Perhaps a bit harsh, but it's true. If you can't afford the ability to give birth to the child, what makes you able to even afford taking care of it? I don't mean that as a punishment for poor people, but as protectional for children. Nobody deserves to be poor, and it would cause undue suffering to the child if they can barely be afforded by their parents.
Ure right in a way, no one deserves to be poor, but in the same way no one deserves to be rich either, its all mostly just decided from birth or by luck. That goes double in america, so claiming only people of money should be allowed to have kids is like saying having children are a game of chance really. Other evidence for this is that if ure poor and uve got something like diabetes u die because u lost the game of chance that is being born in america. And that in and of itself is why i think of america as a third world country, u might have a sewer system and available education, but for some, the right to live still comes down to chance.
Statistically saying, most wealthy people are self made. There are plenty of people who deserve to be rich, but no one deserves to to be poor. Middle Class people aren't rich, they just aren't poor. The situation is not nearly as dire as you're making it out to be. The right to live isn't up to chance, you can still do raise children if you're poor, but it's not easy. I say that as someone who grew up extremely poor, but is now sitting Middle Class at the age of 22. You won't die as a child if you grow up poor, but your family won't have it easy.
That argument’s got holes in it considering families to this day are squeezing out kids onto dirt floors at zero cost in villages with no running water or electricity. I don’t think that not having access to luxuries, or the means to buy those luxuries means you shouldn’t have children.
Things are a bit different in third world countries. You can't compare the ability to have kids in third world countries to that of first world countries.
My girlfriend paid nothing for the birth of our daughter, it was covered completely because she was “technically” a single mother with no employment. However if we had done it “the right way” by getting married I’m sure there would have been major expenses.
