She opens the video by stating that it's "crazy" how having babies have turned into a luxury. And goes on to explain that nowadays when someone announces that they're having a child, people don't respond with celebration and excitement like they used to.

It was clear that Veronica wasn't alone in her belief that having a child is a luxury, as evidenced by a commenter who wrote, "I can only afford a 1bed/1bath apartment on a 6 figure salary lol. How am I gonna buy a house? AND have a kid?"
Quote
Ultimately, the cost of raising a child can vary widely depending on factors such as location, income level, and parents' lifestyle. But as highlighted by Veronica and agreed upon by many viewers, it's undeniable that it's now harder than ever before to afford the joy of bringing a baby into this world.

I don't think of pahrunting as a luxury at all. More of a lifestyle choice. An expensive, unnecessary lifestyle choice. I realize unwanted pregnancy is a thing and now with restricted abortion laws in the States, I'd consider that more of an unfortunate circumstance.
I just don't see being a parent as a luxury in any way, shape, or form. It just looks like misery to me no matter what way you spin it.

Peace
With safe haven laws, women who were forced to birth it can leave it at the hospital and just walk away. If I was knocked up in a red state and couldn't travel for an abortion, that's what I would do, family and the sperm donor be damned. I'd abandon it immediately.
It is misery. That's why they have their own online communities where they can commiserate on how thankless and worthless raising kids is.
Glad it won't ever be me.

I don't know if this is true or not, but I recall reading something about how when a woman abandons a loaf at a Safe Haven, the authorities may reach out to contact her to ensure she wasn't forced into giving it up against her will. Because if that is true (and they don't just want to shame/charge the woman for abandonment), surely sending the child back home to people who don't want it will end well.
Could the same be done in the opposite direction, where the woman dumps the kid at the fire station or hospital or wherever and the father and/or family tries to haul it back home? Do they get "rights" to the loaf if the woman already abandoned it? I mean we live in a country where rapists can fight for visitation of the children they helped conceive via sexual assault, I'm sure it wouldn't be so far-fetched for a woman to think she left an infant at a safe haven only for a relative to pop up years later and go, "oh by the way here's the baby you threw away" and start demanding back child support.
