Ah shit I'd forgotten about Victorian baby farming. Wherein women who couldn't or didn't want to take care of babies they had, because no contraception, would pay someone to take care of them instead. And when I say "take care of" I do mean neglect, starve or straight up murder them, so they could take in more babies. Baby farming.

Sure fucking hope that doesn't pop up again as a practice as some absolute bastards try to return the US into whatever fever dream of better old times they think they want!
