Why do people keep having children while living in crushing poverty?

You’ve already got 24 answers to this question and I’m not sure I can add anything that hasn’t been said already. The answer can depend to some extent on the country in question. Take my own for example. Yes the mighty US of A. The Great Leader of Democracy.

We seem hell bent on turning back time as far as woman’s rights goes and the right for a woman to chose what happens with her own body. Before long, back ally abortions may be back in vogue and woman will once again die at the hands of butchers who don’t know what they are doing. All because men don’t have the babies and women have to make the hard decisions.

Reality is not always sunshine and daffodils. But you said crushing poverty. That brings to mind places where women have to survive on mud cakes and see their children’s bellies distended from malnutrition. Women in that situation do not have the option of saying “No”. They are uneducated. Their societies are controlled overtly by men.

They are married off young and have children young and sometimes die young. Many of the children also die young. The men just get another wife. They are easily replaced. They are just women. In many societies they have little value. In some of the religion that they practice they don’t even have a soul. In some cultures they are even unclean for a portion of the month while they have their period and they have to go off and spend time in a menstrual hut where there lives can be at risk because they are unprotected.

They exist only to have the children of the husband and are his property. As are the children. They do as he says. Do you think he is going to forgo his pleasure? He is a poor man. He has little. Would you deny him what pleasure his life does have? He’s an uneducated man. All he knows is his little part of the world. All he knows is what has always been. Life is marriage and having kids and the sadness of sometimes losing one of them young. This has always been a part of life. He had many brothers and sisters when he was young but as he grew older only a handful were left. That is his reality.

That is his wife;s reality. People in big cities have choices. His family just tries not to starve from day to day as best they can. If God sends another child then they have another child. If God takes one of their children then they cry and get on with life the next day. There is no Planed Parenthood where they live and soon there will be none where you live too.
