My response to " A Modest Proposal"

In the reading, Swift talks about how women shouldn't get abortions and keep their children, but also says women shouldn't have as much kids. The author states women/ wives as breeders, but questions why the poor are having more children. Swift then completely changes his thoughts and thinks children would be a great meal to eat, & doesn't find children as "humans". Satire is in this reading by showing a strange and humorous topic being read/ written in a serious tone
