I have a problem with that because it seems to show that the great majority of "baby mommas" are black, when all four of the never-married moms that I have known personally are white. (And, yes, I know the above is just a video, but it still perpetuates the stereotype.)

Ask Chapter Jackson about it. She's black and has no problem presenting "baby mommas" such as they are.

Honestly, as long as it’s Cali and nowhere else I don’t really care. Their policies I want to become their downfall, martyr for everyone not to do.

Wow, I didn't know that it was an addiction! Do you have some proof of this or is it just a 'hunch'?

Do you know how long the wait is for a section 8 voucher? The average wait in California is 5 years and having a baby is probably not the best way to get a voucher, you have a better chance if you are disabled or elderly.

You "noticed it"..hmm that doesn't sound very scientific

Why have all those children when you can't pay the going rate on rent or buy a house and need some scheme from socialist tax level city of LA.
That certainly sounds dire, imagine crying babies in businesses! What's the world coming tl?

Ya think so, huh? Actually in urban areas section 8 vouchers aren't high enough to secure a rental with one. https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/09/...oing-about-it/ And I don't think they drive up rent anywhere, but again- if you can provide evidence for any of your claims, please do so.

It is a no-win situation for ALL concerned.

P.S. However, a the risk of incurring many howls of protest, I do think that every woman who receives SNAP assistance should receive a tubal ligation immediately after giving birth to her third child (and I would be tempted to say after her second child). I would also love it if there was a way to make a man who fathers numerous children with numerous mothers, but I think that would be almost impossible (or at least very difficult) to enforce. Imo, it is terrible that it is the women and children who suffer from reckless sex, while the men are often allowed to just walk away.
How about birth control for the men who can impregnate many women in one day ?? Force the baby daddies to get snipped.

As I indicated, I wouldn't have a problem with that IF they could be identified, but how could that be done???

I think that would only be possible if several women identified the same man as being the father of her child(ren) and it was confirmed through DNA testing.

So did Mother Teresa believe in a loving God or not? Personally, I am not going to love anyone who wants me to suffer!

This is what you get when you live in a state that continues to reward bad choices and shun personal responsibility.


Hooray for the Leftists utopia.

I don't think that's true. The amount of TANF a recipient receives for having an additional child varies between $50-$100 a month. In Pennsylvania you get $87 for an additional child, in Nevada it's $55 a month. There are far better/easier ways to come up with <$100 than having a baby
