We live in a greedy materialistic World, 'can't afford' really means getting your priorities right. From some of those poorer homes might come the next great

composer, scientist, dancer, actor. At the end of the day we need children,

children become adults and most will contribute to society even if their parents

have not succeeded in being social ladder climbers.

Answer 7

1. Babies come from sex.

Sex is very seductive.

While it is theoretically possible to prevent most unwanted pregnancies, that is in an ideal world were there is no human error, human ignorance, human contrariness, human stupidity, or other real life obstacle to that near perfection. 

2. It's absurd to expect that young people, especially very young people, are going to judge with mature judgment, are going to make the same decisions that older smarter more experienced people make. A bright 14 year old is still only 14. Like everyone else she longs to be love, to have someone to love with all her heart, longs to have something important to do with her life. So when you're 14 having a baby can seem like a great idea, can seem like just what you need in your life during that troubled time.

If you know how to fill out the appropriate forms you can get the taxpayers to pay the costs to raise your kids .
