People who elect to have kids without a safety net of a family at home (ie: spouse), and ideally some extended family in the area (grand parents, etc) I have little sympathy for.
I have no sympathy at all for people who choose to have kids out of wedlock. Yes, it's a CHOICE in this country. Birth control is effective, and cheap. If you are actually using it and are one the the (very rare) failures (ie: not a failure to USE BC, but a failure in the properly used method), then abortion is still quite legal in the US, and often paid for (the % of inner city women that have had abortions is staggeringly high).
There is simply no excuse to have kids until you've "built a nest." Even rodents know enough to make a nest.
