Ms. DSF explained that raising children comes with real financial responsibilities, including meeting their basic needs. She argued that people should be able to provide for their children before deciding to have them, rather than starting a family while they are still struggling to support themselves.

She urged people planning to become parents to consider their financial capacity and ensure they can adequately provide for their children.
