Elizabeth, I don't think that our opinions differ that much at all. I was not responding to your post as a rebuttle, but more of a continuation of thought. You had mentioned children born out of wedlock and I simply responded. I know that uplanned babies come into this world. It bothers me when it becomes a burden on the ones who are responsible and do pay taxes. Like I said before, I do not mind helping those in need, tough times happen, people lose jobs for instance. The mother that I referred to in the previous post had exposed infants to drugs, alcohol and lead by the age of 6 months. Those children are physically and mentally delayed and she was collecting SSI for their special needs. Mandatory tubal? I think that she should get charged with child endangerment the minute the judge finds out that she is pregnant again. I did not mean to offend anyone with my post, especially the hard working moms.
