There is some hyperbolic nonsense going on. None of us want children to starve. Not that I think starvation was on the cards anyway.
I think those of us that aren't in favour of it are simple saying people need to take more responsibility. multiple children from multiple relationships, parents that either don't work or work in low paid jobs that are surprised that feeding 3/ 4 children are expensive. Most high income families would find the cost of multiple children expensive so why do it if you don't have the security of a house, savings, mortgage insurance etc?
The answer is because someone else will give you a house with cheap rent, and then some money and then extra money to feed the children.
We can't let children go hungry or be fed sodding nuggets and chips (which just makes me physically angry that people feed children this way) but we need to address the problems behind it not just stick a plaster on it.
People on here keep saying it could happen to anyone.. yes and no. You mitigate the risk, don't start a family until you have been married a while so your relationship is more likely to survive, have secure living arrangements, a regular income etc.
We need to do more to support people's life choices, help them create decent lives for their children not just throw money at it with no solutions. It just perpetuates the cycle.
