That sounds like a big YES.

I do wonder though how someone who receives "a dozen of nasty text messages" gets another story written about her in the news...

Someone looking for her 15 minutes of publicity?
"looking for her 15 minutes of publicity"..........could you POSSIBLY be more shallow if you tried a little harder?

That would be the type of person who takes some personal responsibility for their life - which she obviously does not. Much easier to just suck at the public teat!

No that wasn't a big yes. That was a big 'what is her responsibility to her own children and life choices?' One unplanned pregnancy can happen to anyone. Two? Well, it happens... Three -- now its a lifestyle choice. She choose to have as many children as she possibly could. The real question is 'would she have done so if she and she alone were financially responsible for every child after the third one? AND if all benefits expired after the third one reached kindergarten? AND if she were expected to repay whatever the state spent on her?'

Abortions? No, she would have learned how to use the pill.

Then I'll respond by saying you're comparing apples and oranges. Make a fair comparison and we can continue.

The aftercare for a tubal ligation vs. an IUD insertion is pretty different.

I have absolutely no sympathy for this woman.
It's NOT about sympathy! Duh!

It's about Medical Malpractice. If there is no written consent form signed by that woman for that procedure on file, then SOMEBODY IS IN TROUBLE.

Since it appears that a medical malpractice lawsuit has been filed, the answer to that question should be forthcoming very soon via discovery.

Interesting how you diverted the real issue of doctors performing the wrong surgery, or simply unauthorized surgery/procedure, on someone into a story about a WOMAN who is on welfare and has had lots of children......and her morals or lack thereof. Nothing about the morals or incompetency of the doctors involved.

No, the "real question" is the one I asked, not a "what if" scenario.
