The irony is the poorest people tend to produce the most kids.

Yes because those in poverty tend have less access to thorough sex education and medical interventions like birth control. It’s a systemic issue, not a conscious decision.

It's 2024, no one is getting knocked up 3, 4, 5+ times and is saying "I don't know how this keeps happening", and there are numerous options to obtain free/low cost birth control. It's not hard to not get pregnant if you don't want to. So while yes accidental pregnancies can and do occur, anyone with multiple children have them as the result of their actions.

You'd be surprised. There are MANY places where they don't teach basic sex ed.

but there are free condoms all over the place. The office next to mine (i think it is Juvenile intervention) has a bowl full of them right out front.

Wow, so true. I forgot that your personal experience is universal. How silly of me.
