The problem aren't babies, its funding those babies. Raising children is fucking expensive, and in the age of infinite growth nobody is allowed to slowdown to raise children. Adoption centers and foster homes are abysmal, and having kids is too expensive for most people.
The rich dont want to pay for peoples kids, they just want to squeeze the value out them. Thats why Elon and his vice president trump wants more H-1B visas. They don't have to pay for the childcare or education, they can just drain educated workers from another struggling country
The best way to get people to not care that you're raping (or otherwise abusing / exploiting) their children is to make sure they have too many to keep track of.
