>>>Should she have aborted her kids?
There is a such thing called BIRTH CONTROL. And provided for free in most cities. So no excuse. NOONE with a half a thimble of intellegence believes that it is ok to have 10 kids and no way to provide for them. This woman is stupid and the problem with this society is that there is NO CONSEQUENCE for stupidity anymore.
She had a common law husband until he left. Would you like to talk to married women here who have 8 or 9 children? Yes there is such a thing called birth control, and some religions consider it a grave sin. Seeing that the woman was with this man through the births of 8 children, until he walked out, what makes you think she's stupid? Are women supposed to assume that their marriage (common law or state sanctioned) is going to fall apart, and violate their beliefs so that someone, somewhere won't take offense at their situation? Should they use contraception because he might abandon the family?
I would agree if this woman had 7 baby daddies for her family. What I'm getting from you and the rest of the posters, is that if a woman gets stranded with a large number of children, she is stupid, a slut, a leech, and should be forced to live in a cardboard box.
She was hanging in there until her transportation broke down, and the house caught on fire.
