[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What baffles me is that keeping your legs closed is that difficult. Stop blaming that the poor don't have access to birth control, etc.

Unless a woman is raped, she decided to sleep with Tom the bum and get pregnant. Sex = baby and No sex = no baby [/quote]

So what we should do is ensure that this woman and her offspring are punished?  Maybe make sure they starve to death? Cut off their access to health care? Look the other way when they're abused?  Get outraged when they turn to substance abuse?

This is what your post, our culture, our politics and our policies see as the answer to women (and their children) like the one in the story.

We call it Freedom, to give ourselves an acceptable excuse to do nothing. [/quote]

The answer is not to have this entire family on disability.  The answer is to get them on appropriate social programs, such as medicaid, snap, HAP vouchers or low income housing, IEPs for the twins, parents classes and support for granny, an education for Franny, physical, occupational and behavior therapy for franny and the twins, nutritional counseling, financial counseling etc. and get them off the opioids.

But disability is not an ATM or substitute for welfare if they can't get money by other means.  Throwing money at them via unwarranted ss disability payments doesn't help them, it doesn't address their actual problems.  it keeps them stuck. [/quote]
