I met women like this when I worked at the local Public Health Dept, issuing WIC vouchers, doing paperwork for well baby checks, immunizations, family planning visits (gyn exams and birth control), etc. One gal was 18 with 5 children, one on the way. She became very angry when one of the nurses informed her that the govt would pay for sterization when she delievered her latest pregnancy. "I am entitled to as many babies and checks as I want, you racist b****!". Was just one of her responses.

I just find it hard to comprehend this way of thinking.

"I am entitled to as many babies and checks as I want, you racist b****!".

Years ago I remember seeing some talk show about a black single mother of about eight kids who had gone to the mayor or governor of New Jersey...can't remember now...but she told him, "My welfare checks aren't enough, what are you going to do about it?" And the politican (also black) said, "Well, why did you have so many kids?" And it hit the fan that the guy had been so "insensitive" as to say something like that. The politican appeared on the talk show as well as the welfare mom and her kids. The politician pointed out that he and his wife were limiting their family because they couldn't afford more kids. Plus his wife had to go back to work after having a baby, even though she would have liked to have stayed home. In other words, they were being responsible, yet they had to pay for welfare queens like the mom of eight.

The mom had the same attitude as the person you quoted, "I have a right to have as many kids as I want." I remember at one point in the show, she dramatically pointed to her brood of kids and said, "Tell me which one I should kill!" I sat there watching the show in utter disbelief. Society used to shame people like this. Now, people who dare to ask them, "Why did you have so many kids?" are the ones shamed.

Man, I wish everyone believed in natural selection. That's one hussy I wouldn't have one bit of shame putting my fist through her face.

I don't think she should have any say in the matter at this point. I say sterilize her after the first one.
