Poverty does not cause a child to have a child. A child having a child causes poverty. Finishing high school is a choice. Not joining a gang is a choice. Not having a child until you have the maturity and the means to raise that child is a choice."
Quoting Larry Elder
Again, he is spouting typical far right philosophy. Not having child until you reach maturity is a choice. The question is, what are you going to do with the teenager who has become pregnant? Are you going to force her to have a child because she made the wrong choice?
Apparently Elder would. To far right, freedom means freedom to make the right choice, right as deemed by the far right. They want to deny people the freedom to make any other choices than the ones far right deems correct.
In a democracy, people should be given all the choices. Thus, I agree that not having a child until you reach maturity is a good choice. But getting pregnant while being a teenager is also a choice and the teenager should be left alone to deal with it as she sees fit. She may decide to have the baby and raise it, she may give it up for adoption or she may decide to have an abortion. The choice should be hers. It is not up to Larry Elder to decide which choice she should be forced to make.
