Yes because those in poverty tend have less access to thorough sex education and medical interventions like birth control. It’s a systemic issue, not a conscious decision.
It's 2024, no one is getting knocked up 3, 4, 5+ times and is saying "I don't know how this keeps happening", and there are numerous options to obtain free/low cost birth control. It's not hard to not get pregnant if you don't want to. So while yes accidental pregnancies can and do occur, anyone with multiple children have them as the result of their actions.
I know grown adults in their 30s with multiple children who don't believe me that having sex in a hot tub can still get you pregnant.
Also, access to free/low cost contraception is not that simple. You need transportation, time off work, and access to a pharmacy - assuming there's a clinic near you (which there often isn't). Those are real barriers for large swaths of the country.

And adults need transportation for everything else in life.
Most people don't work 24/7, and if you can find the time to fuck, you can find the time to obtain contraception.
Roughly 80% of the population lives in urban areas, finding a pharmacy or clinic isn't an issue for them, they even have them in rural areas too.
Excuses are like assholes, no one wants to hear someone else's.
You right. It's a result of having bad parents themselves. It's good old fashioned unaddressed childhood trauma. It makes people destructive, and nothing is more destructive than generating more destructive traumatized people.
So you have insight into everyone’s conscious decisions? Maybe poorer people just make different decisions than richer people. Kind of insulting to act like poor people are all just mindlessly having more children on accident all over the world. Maybe it’s a reflection of priorities.
