Personal freedom is right and proper up to the point that one man’s (or woman’s in this case) impinges excessively on other peoples.
Quite apart from the Rest of the World the population of Britain is far too high.
In any case it’s not just a case of what a couple can afford since the nurturing of a child to adulthood is heavily dependent on the rest of us. Quite apart from the payment of child support there is the cost of schooling and education in general, the medical costs, transport costs, and a whole lot more besides.
Personally I would like to see a third and subsequent child being taxed so as to present a disincentive to a couple to have more than two kids. I know the arguments based on it being the kid that suffers but look around at the amount of feral scum that roam the streets as it is.
Freedom is great, but not when your freedom starts to significantly affect mine.
