It's easy to say 'oh no the babies' but what would YOU do? If your population was so big and there was only so much food, then all the people decided FUCK IT, these are babies we should be able to have them. Then started having tons of babies. Would you let it happen, so that those few families who just didn't want to follow the rules 'just because' now cause the rest of the families in the entire nation to starve? There is a limited amount of food.

What would you do? Create food from nothing? Use imaginary infinite resources to feed the children? It's easy to say that aggression is wrong but when you try setting clear guidelines and people do things anyways, aggression is sometimes the only way to keep order. It's tragic that a baby loses its life but if they would let those babies live, not set examples like that then millions would starve. Is it right for millions to starve because people can just have babies anyways and nothing would happen to them?
