People are replying to this remarking on the lack of compassion. I agree, but you don't even need to agree with that to find the statement objectionable.

It seems pretty indisputable that children who are raised with more parental involvement are more successful in life. Those that are less successful don't just disappear, they become a financial drain on society, be it through social security, imprisonment, etc. etc.

So no matter how little you care for other people having kids, two things are true:

1) they're going to have them whether you like it or not (and really, society depends on this)

2) if they don't have support, they're going to cost you more than if they do.

There's really no way in which increased parental involvement doesn't make sense for society.
