Ohhh, I missed this reply! Let me respond.

Oh yes, the old liberal line "You're fortunate to be rich". Or as Dick Gephhardt said "Winning life's lottery". Puhleeze. It's called hard work, good decision making, and being responsible.

Bullshit! You are missing the whole point. This woman was abused as a child. 11-12 yrs old is a child in my book. It has nothing to do with the "politics of envy". My parents grew up during the depression, and I finally showed up after they had given up having children. My dad was 50 when I was born. They taught me the old time values, including compassion.

You mean the first two guys weren't losers? By this time her poor parenting excuse that you claim is no longer a valid excuse. And, in addition, father #2 must have good grounds to keep those 3 kids and not her. Like slutty behavior perhaps?

Lolololol! Of course they probably were losers. The first one was a felony child abuser, IF he was the father of the first one. Just what does a 12 yr old pregnant child do when she is kicked out of her house? You sure as hell won't go to the cops. You will find someone to take care of you. Living on the streets and getting into drugs etc, will certainly teach you discernment towards your partners.

Like I said, that may have been a valid excuse for children #1,2,3 but not for children 4,5,6.

You don't get it. In that culture, a woman alone is a bad place to be in. She has to have a man with her for safety reasons. He wants her pregnant, so should she abort her children? Fat chance that she even knew about birth control, and I'll bet if she suggested it her head would go through a wall.

You remind me of apologists for murderers who say that they shouldn't be executed because of a poor childhood and poor parenting.

She is not a murderer. Maybe I should ping the prolife crowd? She made unfortunate life choices, and it ended up killing her. I believe that normal human beings have a choice to refrain from killing someone out of anger or greed. If they can't handle their impulse controls, then it's not society's problem.

What we have here is failure to communicate.
