[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll preface this by saying I don’t condone taking away the SNAP benefits. What I don’t understand is why every person interviewed in these articles has so many children. It’s always ‘a 21 year old single mother of 3’ or ‘she and her husband are both 25, unemployed, and expecting their first child.’ I totally understand that situations can change drastically, but it doesn’t seem to be the case here.

Idk…it just frustrates me because my husband and I want children, make good money, chose a modest townhome in an area people on this site look down on in anticipation of paying out the a$$ for childcare…and we still don’t feel financially comfortable having a child. I don’t understand why people are bringing kids into the world without a plan to feed them. It makes me angry. I know very few people with 3 or 4 kids. [/quote]

Punishing the children of doesnt work so regardless of the ethical/moral argument made that unemployed/single moms shouldnt have that many kids, the kids are here regardless and deserve to be fed and taken care of. Also, people are always unemployed and most women dont get into motherhood alone. I would prefer to make the argument that removing the stress of feeding children by providing SNAP can alleviate stress from the parents and allow them to focus on parenting and being good parents for their children. Stress can do a lot of damage in all households, regardless of income. If we can alleviate the stress of not having food insecurity then that should be a simple choice. Regardless of your own judgement of birthing kids and income requirements.
