I think "if you can't feed em don't breed em" is a pretty good rule to live by. I can barely feed myself right now, hence why I have no children. But if I was able to support myself and however many theoretical children I chose to have, I don't see the problem. Being rich doesn't mean the kids will have a better life, or be more loved than someone who is poor. I don't think the deciding factor for having children should be money. Are we gonna screen all the parents to make sure they're not abusive assholes? It's just way too problematic.
I don't think having children is a right or a privilege-- it's biology, and it's gonna happen no matter how many laws we try to put on it.
