Yes. Selfish GUILT.
This person has more in common with Demoncrats than they know. This is no “conservative”. Conservatives raise their own kids and don't outsource them to a bunch of uncaring LIBERALS to raise them.
Sounds like projection to me. Maybe inwardly regretting having the children, and the burden imposed, in the first place, but ashamed to admit it, or the thoughts of "alternatives" and what might have been.
