the thing is, just how much income would one have to have before proving one is financially able to support a child. 20k, 50k, 100k.... as it is, people keep telling me I screwed up when I told my kids to wait till they could afford a family and kids before they started one... their answer is that they will never be able to afford one... so, well, no grandkids for me I guess...
Yes -- definitely a quagmire.
Would have to have some strict rules to get a cross section of population. Money could not be the only factor.
But, irresponsible procreation is a threat to this planet and it's resources.
Reality is reality.
People that think like this scare me. When government starts telling the population who can and can’t have a child , because of income or other factors , it makes me wish people who think this way had never been born... and woe to this planet should they ever gain political power 😕.

So, I sure hope you financially support off planet relocation.
Earth's natural resources are limited.
Excuse my reality and logic.

Going so well that for many in the world that...
How naive is that. You do know we are running out of fresh water don't you?.
Also how many kids are already waiting to be adopted? 200k? Just in the states. Adopt them all and then you may have a good idea.

Yes adoption, not abortion, should be the answer to unwanted pregnancies.

You talk the talk but do you walk the walk
How many have you fostered/adopted

Absolutely I have not aborted any of our children, so I DO walk the walk! How about you!?

now, you tell me that you are willing to go without sexual intercourse with your spouse, significant other during the times in your relationship when one of you determine that
Face it you just want a reason to hate women.
