PS: The point here is NOT that poor people shouldn't have kids, it's that no one should be having kids without having the basics of childcare covered, which necessitates widespread systemic, societal, and economic change so that no parent needs to worry about those basics, and kids can grow up in secure, healthy environments. I completely forgot to mention this when I originally posted it, and that's my bad.

Classism sucks. Fuck this poster. This is literally enabling eugenics against people who are unlucky in capitalism. Even animals have the freedom to reproduce(not domestic tho thanks human cruelty)

This poster is economic slavery prevention.

It is abuse to have children you cannot materially provide for. Like why are you so cool with child neglect?

You say fuck classism and fuck capitalism and yet you wont do a thing to destroy either classism or capitalism so that a poor person will never again have to worry about having as many children as they like.

If you , and well most of the people around you, cant or dont want to destroy a system that limits your abilities to have sex and have children ? Work within its limits based on your life and your material conditions . DOne and done. There are no third options. Destroy the syystem or work within the limits it has placed upon you and your fellow peoples or your class.

If you have the time to and can afford to havve more children than mitt romney and nba youngboy combined ? Then have fun popping them out of you like youre a clown car.

If you cant? Then Toughen The Fuck UP ButterCup. Either destroy the system that prevents you from having a trillion kids OR adult the fuck up and dont have any. There is no third options and there will NEVER be a third option.

You cant continue to lay down and accept a system thatt makes it so that ONLY the very wealthy and very politically connected are ones who can realistically raise a healthy , wealthy cchild BUT THEN ALSO get mad at the poor people, poor as you, who choose to ALSO lay down and accept this capitalistic system that has prevented thrm from having childten and they choose to not have any children.

Either or. There are no third options and there will never be any. Eithher destroy the system or work within the limits it has placed upon you if you want to lay down and take it.
