Technically you don’t have to. People have been having children since at least the 1500s, and they didn’t have medicade. There is nothing illegal about simply having a baby.

So, folks only started having babies in the 1500s? In your mind, how did people procreate before that?
Yeah… humanity has moved on. We dont let people die just because we dont need them

40% of us children are born into poverty🤡
I guess the pedophiles who own us need a steady supply of poor people’s children for them to rape.

But they are cutting the subsidy for creating more poor people. If they benefited from poor people existing they wouldn’t do that.

They’re too short-sighted to see that. They’re also booting out many of their cheap, opressed labor that are also consumers and taxpayers.

I mean Germany requires people to work if they are on welfare. And their job placement program can even place you as a prostitute.

Wait a minute, if we cut this and birth rate falls, economy also falls because lower population usually leads to smaller growth in economy. Now if we deport hardworking immigrants, it will also be worse off for the economy.
What’s the goal here? Make things worse?

I’ve said this a few times. The developed world was built around growth, and most of the developed world has a total fertility rate problem. And here are the US conservatives, dumbest of the dumb, doing everything they can to drive people out of the country.
The wikipedia article has a nice color coded map.

Wait, you guys have to pay for births?
Don’t you have problems with sinking birthrates?
Yes, and it can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Also yes.

Healthcare being free and available, the fact that this confuses you so much means you are definitely too far gone and probably some Republican
