People who can't afford kids, shouldn't have kids- people who can't raise kids, shouldn't have kids- and people who don't want kids, shouldn't have kids. I don't know why you're suggesting that having a kid when you shouldn't have a kid, is responsible.

The part that makes it irresponsible is that becoming pregnant is entirely avoidable. Having sex without consequences is not a God given right. No matter how safe you think you're being there's always the small chance that the woman will get pregnant. The responsible thing to do, is to not have sex until you're ready to support children. And if you can't wait for then, then atleast be ready to change your life style to support a kid in the event of pregnancy. Its all really pretty simple common sense.
