Moderators kimi Posted October 26, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2019 This is such a sensitive topic and so, I'll treat it as such.... I was left with a question in my head and I honestly couldn't pick a side. I was listening to someone who was recounting the tale of her neighbours who have kids but who are unable to provide for them and as a result, the oldest, a 13 year old, is having to work... (I'll stop here to spare your eyes some tears). So here is the question I put to myself: Is it really fair to say that the poor should not have children (until such a time that they can adequately provide for them)? what are your thoughts?.

Michelle Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I'd prefer the positive view on this issue...diamonds are made from pressure. Any adult with the best intentions should be able to have children and raise them as they see fit within the limits of the law. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many factors come to mind when I think of this to be honest. Bearing children is a big deal for most people, so restricting them may not be the solution; I don't even know what the solution is😂 You talk to the women about family planning, etc and they tell you their husbands will never agree to that, yet you see them struggling to provide a meal/day for their children.

Hawken Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I take back what I said. My education was very swift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
