Looks like we have a eugenicist on this forum.

This has nothing to do with genetics and the idea that genetics should inform decisions about contraception and abortion. Eugenicists believe they know, a priori, who should have families and who should not.

That's a different position from that of saying that individuals not in a position to take on family responsibilities should not have children.

Anyone that can't afford children probably shouldn't have children.

NOBODY was talking about eugenics.

Yes, and you have proposed this very thing.

That's a different position from that of saying that individuals not in a position to take on family responsibilities should not have children.

That's fine to say, but you wanted to MANDATE who could and could not have children.
