re: Why do poor people have so many kids?

A lot of poor young adults are poor because they have shitty parents who didn't take good care of them. So these young women grow up and are desperate for love. But no decent men want them because they're trashy and drug addled. So they become attracted to trashy drug addled young men. These women are so starved for love that they will do anything for a child, whom they know will love them and trust them and depend on them. In turn these women think that these men will commit to them once they conceive a child. But the men are usually in prison by the time the child is born. So the women begin the process all over again. And another doomed child is born.

These children are doomed because the mothers don't even raise them. They are raised by aunts and grandmothers and friends' parents, while these young women continue their lives of whoring and doing drugs to get men to love them. And every once in a while the women will pick up their child from her aunt's house and they'll take a selfy together and she'll post it on Facebook and tell the world how much she loves motherhood.
