It's called unintended consequences, dumbass. I highly doubt a 19 year old from the inner city WANTS to raise a child in poverty, but it's a common story where she gets knocked up by some random guy anyways, he disappears, and voila we have a baby born into poverty with no father to speak of. She doesn't purposely seek this out, but she also didn't do anything constructive to avoid this.
But simply saying "well, I didn't want this but it happened so screw it, I don't care!" isn't a real response either. Eventually there needs to be a coordinated campaign, from leaders inside these communities, to start directly confronting the breakdown of families and applying pressure on people to get their shit together and stop the trend.
I'm sure this involves first stopping the violence and drug culture ingrained in these communities. But beyond that, there IS a culture of absolute wreckless abandon. How many stories have we heard of men in inner cities who have 8 different kids with 6 different mothers?
