She already had four that she couldn’t afford and she thought a 5th was a good idea?

I can’t imagine how f***ed up your life has to be for even San Francisco Leftists to want to kick you out of public housing.

When you already have 4 kids and are single and struggling, you do NOT pop out another one.

The know what causes pregnancy now and there are 100% effective prophylactic measures that can be taken (no pun intended).

She also apparently willfuly violate the rules of the complex.

This lady gets no sympathy from me.

What ever happened to “BIRTH CONTROL?” I find it unbelievable that a woman that old doesn’t know about birth control.

I sometimes think the media posts these articles as propaganda.

For our side.

Who in their right mind could read this and not feel disgust at her and a system that rewards idiot behavior?

Shanty here is a perfect case study in why Welfare should be cut by 3/4’s or more.
