There's a specific class of people that walk away from their children -- those people are called deadbeats.
So... Being called names is the biggest problem? You're walking away - so walk on.
Ummm no? Doesnt the government of most countries come after a person if that person accidentally produces a child and then doesnt oay child support? Thats what Ive seen before but maybe Im wrong...
ALSO the right to give a child up to adoption is questionable in most countries too.
Its not the name calling its just that legally speaking the government and their bribed mercenary piggies will go out of their way to hunt you, tax you, and kill you if do choose to become a deadbeat.
Most people would feel bad causing their family to fall apart and inflicting trauma on their children, I think that is more motivating than name calling.

That's not what the post is about though.
It was about how having kids "traps you in the system". You need to work and so on so you can take care of your kids. Sure you can just abandon them, but most people don't want to make their kids suffer and feel obligation to raise them either morally or legally. Therefore they are stuck doing a job and having a life they wouldn't necessarily want if they hadn't had kids. They're not literally "trapped" like someone isn't literally stuck in prison, they can escape if they are creative or lucky enough.
