My friends are stupid

Not gonna lie, I'm a 30 year old woman who is completely childfree. I've never wanted kids. My parents were abusive and I would hate to subject any kid to that, plus I don't think I could be good to a kid. I still live with my parents to help take care of my grandmother, and because of that, I get to see my parents for what they really are. I will never be like them. So last night I went out to dinner with some friends. We hadn't seen each other in awhile so of course the topic of kids came up. And of course two of them are pregant. One of my friends has three kids, and is pregnant with her forth. She's a single mom of three, and is still with the guy the kid is with. So this will be her forth with three different guys. The second friend is a little different. She has one baby, and is pregnant with her second child. This one is a little different because this kid will be her second with the SAME guy. I'm listening to these two go on and on about how smart they are, and I'm just sitting there dumbfounded. I can't even say anything to them. I want to ask them "Why? Why on this god-forsaken earth would you think it's a good idea to have MORE kids when you can barely afford the ones you have?" But I know if I do they'll just brush it off. And of course they're both on welfare and government assistance. They won't say it out loud, but I can tell they're depending on their babies to pay for them. One of them even said, "Well at least I know how to do it now, so it won't be as hard." I'm just lost for words. I don't know what to say to them. I don't want to be "that person" who tells them not to have kids, but at this rate, I kind of want to. Am I in the wrong? Should I say something? Am I just being a bitch? I honestly don't know. Edit: 1. I can't afford to move out. 2. I didn't say anything because I know they won't listen and I'm just going to sound like a bitch. 3. Yes, I realize how hard it is to take care of kids and that's why I don't want any.
