It may be my rabid anti-child tendencies coming in here, but I would say anyone who's having children they can't support right now is pretty high up on my list of selfish bastards. With the government attempting to get back to a point where it's not hemorrhaging money, we don't need even more mouths to feed. You can cut back on cigarettes or alcohol, but don't cut back on condoms or other birth control! >.<
Of course, if a couple with good financial prospects (such as my cousin and his wife) want to get preggers, that's one thing. But having kids just 'cause you're either too dumb or too lazy to use birth control just pushes all my buttons. XP
