The Budget

dunno about this actually. It sounds like a lot of money, but that's per household, not per person. Let's say you live in London with your partner/spouse and 2 (or more) kids, and you're both earning 20 grand.
I earn more than that and have no dependents, and just about get by with a little bit of money left over. If i had even one kid on the wage i'm on now, i'd struggle to make ends meet, especially if my kid had to go to nursery or needed any other childcare. And what if a family had a child with serious disabilities?

Um, rape victims, accidental pregnancies... loads of people get pregnant when they don't really want to. Also lots of people find out they're pregnant too late to have an abortion.

Also on Sure Start - a major element of Sure Start involved social programmes to stop parents from breeding more than they could afford to, supporting parents to be better educated on basic household skills like finances, healthy eating, family planning etc. Sure Start was a really, really important programme that they really should have kept if they were genuinely serious about supporting young (often socially excluded and poorly educated) parents into work and off benefits.

Guess what.. you'd have to cut luxuries out if you wanted to have kids. I know people raising kids on a single income just over minimum wage. If they can do it so can anyone else. £40k is basically 4x min. wage by the way.. so a fucking joke if they are getting handouts because they 'struggle' to raise their kids. Quit the booze, ciggies, cars, tvs, playstations, dining out etc.

There are no cuts to healthcare apparently so kids with disabilities would be dealt with differently.

They are not totally removing health care for pregnancies.. just the stacked benefits for multiple children and for people earning enough to support themselves without relying on hand outs.
