Childfree because we're fully aware of the massive sacrifices good parents have to make (and we want none of that)

My problem is I dint have the money , time or even the psychological stability to make ANY of those sacrifices so.... what the heck would I want any child to suffer in poverty for?

NO CHILD deserves poverty. NO CHILD deserves a regretful parent.

But hasnt it been shown that children of parents who ' arent the sharpest tools in the shed' tend to eventually have average levels of IQ eventually when theyre old enough?

There's a large nature/nurture debate to be had of course. The main point though, is that those with the most capability are very often the ones who self filter themselves. Leading to more poverty, as the less capable over breed themselves into crime statistics.

But I also remember reading somewhwre that poorer women in the usa were the most likely ones to seek and get an abortion as in they make up the ovverwhelming majority of abortions successfully gotten in the usa , isnt that still true? So doesnt that kinda show that poorer people also self-filter themselves frequently vause they understand that they just dont have the means to take care of a new mouth to feed? Now, I dont have statistics for what abortion access and abortion eagerness looks like globally for different women amd other people with uteri so you can take that with a grain of salt.

So I feel like there is some filtering at all levels of people of all wealth levels , all IQ levels, and of all eagerness-to-be-a-parent levels

Fertility is a U shape across income. High birth rates for the very poor, and very rich, not so much in the middle. At the moment, the largest absolute number of births is in the middle class, due to that being the largest demographic, not the most fertile.

Due to the nature of the IQ, at any point in time, whether people are getting smarter or dumber, children of any parents will "tend to have average levels of IQ".
