But okay... I forgot one likely argument that might convince someone to have babies, beyond that shallow sentimentalism:

Economy.

Or money.

Government handing you over a nice check every month for raising another baby. Or giving you fatter student grants.

Then end up a few years later neglecting your kids because you just had them out of desperation in response to economic pressure. That you and your lofty ideals didn't end up paying off as much as you thought... then maybe a baby or two will make things better, right?

Right. CPS has got a monopoly over what is "right"... sadly. Because in the first place, it was the same STATE that first gave you the providence for raising your child. Then you've proven, as most poor people do, the human weaknesses in not raising them according to their social demands, letting them ask money to suspicious adults in the streets, getting abused by child molesters, then who knows what worse, given your geographic location...
