There's a reason the right wing is always trying to ban birth control/abortion, push those trashy '16 and pregnant' shows, complain about teen pregnancy rates being down, want to legalize child marriage and child labor. Kids are just one way that capitalism traps you into being dependent on the system and desperate. For those in the US health insurance is another. And over-reliance on cars. They love to put a recurring cost on anything that's necessary to maintaining your survival/quality of life, because then you're dependent on perpetuating the system.
