No.
His comment as written ONLY suggested that the young woman and her guardian were solely responsible for the costs and care of the child she was giving birth to.
Charity had already been given them - they were not paying their own way as it was.Those offering them a handout had every right to toss them out on their ears.
They offered to keep on supporting them if the young woman were sterilized. That was wrong - they should have been sumarily turned out to fend for themselves - unles the girl had been sexually abused rather than typical teenage promiscuity.
Where this went wrong was not the sterilization - it was badly wrong before that.
The terms of not adding another mouth to feed should have resulted in the end of government subsidy.
Don't like that? Then don't live on the taxpayer's forced largess.
People who are paying their own way can do what they like. People sponging off of soemone else have to jump through the someone else's hoops.
The woman and her mother should have (I know this just isn't done in some circles) gotten jobs and taken to heart that promiscuity has costs someone always has to pay.
Two wrongs (welfare, sterilizatio) don’t make a right. Your views are repugnant.
Slavery is repugnant!
Paying women to not marry and reproduce is repugnant!
Bastard children created for profit is BOTH!
I am not against procreation.
Just unchecked welfare/slavery procreation.
Stop fuming and hear me out.
Sterilization, or 0 zero welfare for the Mother after the first child. Half pay if she can't produce the Father. Father fully pays child support, or half support if sterilized, 0 support if they marry and raise the child together.
Now compare that to what we have today.
Then stop the welfare. Sterilization is considered mortally sinful to Catholics. Since there are so many of us here in the US you sort of have to make us happy when you pass laws.
Just cutting off the funding for slave multiplication is sufficient.
