Thing is these 'Welfare mothers" were looking to get pregnant. If not him then someone else. A very sad ploy to get more money. Welfare should cap benefits at 4 kids.
You can't punish the kids for their parents' actions. If the parents don't get the help the kids will suffer. And that's why the help is there. For the kids, not the parents.
Either way, you're making a lot of assumptions that these mothers are getting welfare. You don't know that at all.
Smart, otherwise upstanding women do dumb things, too.
Smart, otherwise upstanding men do foolish things, too. And the reality is that once you do something foolish like have a kid out of wedlock, you're no longer upstanding. If you were still upstanding, that'd kind of defeat the purpose of being called upstanding.
You're then a smart person who made a bad decision. And if you do it again, as most of these women did, you're no longer smart.
But if we start limiting access to birth control and outlaw abortion, we will have more of these types of cases in society and we the taxpayers will be paying for more of these types of situations. Who knows how many kids this fool would have right now if abortion was illegal and birth control made harder to get...
Where are you getting your information about outlawing abortion ?
Limit access to birth control ? Limited funds for FREE birth control maybe but anyone should be able to get together $15 to get the pill or just go to the local public school and ask for some free condoms.

If I were to ask nicely, would you keep the passive aggression in the Cali forum where it belongs?
When it occurs, certainly.
[now about this guy with 30 kids...]
