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.

Come on. They literally state "love does not pay for childcare" instead of advocating free childcare. And the subtext is falsely trying to reframe it, which was my whole point.
