Why do taxpayers have to keep paying for this? I don't care who they have sex with, but I do care that they are sticking me and other taxpayers with the financial responsibility to pay for their decision to have children that they know they can't financially take care of.
We need to change our welfare/child support laws to put a stop to this crap. Let the Baby Mommas go out and get a job to support themselves AND their kids instead of depending on the taxpayers to support them.
If this becomes a trend, I can see it offsetting the decisions of other Americans to go childless.
The only problem is that no one got to vote on whether we wanted to support someone else's kids. If they want kids, then get a job and support them themselves. I'll bet that 90% or more of them have no plans of ever working at a real job.
Big whoop. Technically, a sperm bank could do something similar. At least they wouldn't be required to invite or put up with an egotistical donor!
Why blame the guy? I doubt that he held a gun to their head to get sex. It's unlikely that the "donor" will ever have to pay anything. As the old saying goes, "You can't get blood out of a turnip."
Why should the taxpayers have to pay for some young girls to willingly get pregnant and then pay for the kid's care for the next 18 years? You can't convince me that these girls' birth control pills suddenly stopped working ACCIDENTALLY. <eyeroll>

Where have you been for the past 40+ years. It has BEEN a trend for decades and is most prevalent in certain neighborhoods. That's not to say that it's exclusive to certain neighborhoods. Just saying it's more common there.
When this type of situation happens, I often wonder how many men that have the means and the willingness to support and be there for their child did these women rejected and instead opted for what turnout to be a deadbeat never present father. lol
Ah well, making bad mistakes has been around since ever, just that some mistakes are worst than others.
There is a small possibility this isn't one of those cases, but...
You don't understand the situation at all. These girls/ young women aren't expecting the Baby Daddy to support them. They're depending on you and me to do that.
Statistics show 1 of the main indicators of a child growing up in poverty is to be raised in single parent household.

Seven in 10 children living with a single mother are poor or low income, compared with less than
a third of children living in other types of families.

How do you know they'll be on welfare? Cause they're black?

Color/race has nothing to do with my opinion. Just the situation described in the OP leads me to believe that the pregnancies were intentional and that they didn't have husbands or Significant Others who would/might help them pay the bills. Therefore, it's highly likely, IMO, that they are counting on taxpayers like me (and others) to support them.
