I currently work as a delivery driver and stock boy at a grocery store. Not exactly a high paying position. Over the years I've worked as a warehouse monkey, a dishwasher, a forklift driver and occasionally in the theatre. Like I said, I've had my share of exposure to poor people and have still never seen the kind of stuff you're talking about. Nor have I heard of anything like that from anyone I know.
Therefore I tend to think you're full of shit.
You haven't heard anything like that? Have you been reading the replys here? Nobody cares to stop and think of ways to help, nobody stops and thinks of ways to make up the extra cost for themselves. It must be the goverment's fault, right? If they don't buy it for me, then its their fault I don't have it. I had kids when I was 18. You know what I did? I didn't go running crying to Uncle Sam. I found a job that will pay me enough to servive and give me benifits. They really are not that hard to find.

Well, that didn't take long.
Well heck, let's just get this all over with shall we?
Birth control is a privilege, not a right!!
Condoms are cheap! Use them!
If you don't want to get knocked up you should be responsible enough not to be fucking!
I PAY FULL PRICE FOR MY BC, THE REST OF YOU SHOULD HAVE TO BECAUSE I SAID SO!!
Did I miss any of the stupid shit that's going to come up?
How is it stupid that I don't want to pay for other people's shit?
Because unwanted children a fuck ton more expensive than birth control subsidies? That being the most obvious answer that even a sign language gorilla could figure out.
We shouldn't be paying for unwanted children either. Charities, welfare, etc. etc. Most people in those situations choose to be in them. Barring extenuating circumstances, the government should not be bailing them out. People need to take responsibility for their own actions.
Yeah. We should totally go back to the days when people were dying in the streets and gutters. Things were so much better then. There was no birth control back then, you know.
Did you just say people where dying in the streets because of the lack of birth control?

From what I can see, it looks like I was responding to the comment that charities and governments shouldn't be helping anyone. I was being facetious when I tossed in the comment about BC. Thus, the .

I have never experienced it myself. I have never heard a firsthand account of it from someone who wasn't trying to push a retarded Holden Caulfield, you-chose-to-be-poor agenda.
I had kids when I was 18. You know what I did? I didn't go running crying to Uncle Sam. I found a job that will pay me enough to servive and give me benifits. They really are not that hard to find.
Good for you. However, not everyone is so lucky. Do you have at least a high school education? Emotional support from friends or family? Not everyone does. The world isn't an equal playing field.
