Once she's had them they are no longer in her body. Kids whose parents can't support them need to be moved to someplace where they are supported. The children should not have to suffer because of the poor decisions of the mother.

How about no welfare for able bodied people, and instead give them free birth control shots.

Lazy people breeding huge litters of welfare parasites is out of control and will be bringing this country back to a 2nd world country in the future.

Sometimes when you meet someone they put on their good guy costume until the costume gets old and tired they finally show their true selves. Sometimes a woman want see that until it's to late so you just discipline the mother and her innocent children REALLY you have to be a young person who has a lot of growing up to do and experience in life needed to say something like this because it can happen to anybody.
What about babydaddies? They should not exist.

It takes 2 to create a "Babydaddy" a stupid man, and a stupid women getting knocked up while not married. I cannot "happen to anyone," it can only happen to irresponsible people and victims of rape.

People need to take responsibility for their own actions.

Now lets talk about husbands and fathers...

...just as the vast majority of people receiving SNAP benefits do. The idea that people on food stamps are lazy, drug-addled criminals is a total canard.

Ironically (or hypocritically if you want to go there) it is frequently the same people who oppose any social programs to aid the poor and less fortunate that also whine and shriek about the idea of any gov't-funded birth control and who rail against free choice with regards to reproductive rights.

Ironically, I am not against all social programs, and am 100% pro choice. I also helped with the Democratic campaign and was able to help lead the small town I was living in towards being the only small town in a "red" zone that went blue last election, in a crucial swing state.

What I am against is fraud and baby daddies. In college I lived in a very urban downtown neighborhood in a very large city and saw the rampant fraud first-hand. It is so common-place as a way of life that it takes place right out in the open on the street. I am not sure how much experience living among welfare recipients these people have who claim fraud is a rare event. It is a lifestyle for many, for generations.

I am a moderate, like most Americans. Labeling people liberal or conservative based on one issue does nothing for anything.

I think that is the way to go, right?
Give them the option to keep their kids if they get married (to someone of any gender). That will mean fewer kids being raised by out of wedlock mothers.

Also make an exception for kids who are being raised by a single parent due to their dad dying in combat.

Well, how big of you! Dad dies in combat AND they can keep the kid.

What is Dad just dies? Or finds another woman? Take the kid away?

Of course! Any woman who would have a child with a man who just decides to die one day isn't very bright in the first place so she doesn't need to pass her stupidity on to anyone else!

Finger prints will one day replace EBT, credit and debit cards.

It will put a big dent into fraud.
