Last April, Melissa Ortiz, a low-income mother of four, gave testimony to a committee of the California Assembly detailing her life on the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids program, or CalWORKs, the state’s welfare program.
“When we first had the twins, the only person in my family getting aid was my oldest son,†she said. “We didn’t have money to buy them car seats to get home [from the hospital]. …We didn’t have money to pay for diapers, wipes, shampoos, and toiletries. … I am here to tell you that I am trying my best to be a great mom. I do not need to be punished for deciding to have children.â€
For women like Ortiz, new children become a burden to carry—a threat to their livelihoods.

“I had to go to charities, wait in line, and hope that the charities had diapers that day,†she writes, explaining the impact of family caps on her life. “I am constantly trying to pay just enough to not have [the utilities] shut off.â€
What's her address? I'll send her cloth diapers. :mad:

So this female - no father is mentioned as being present, the the article is essentially re-arguing the debate of 20 years ago - decides to have more and more kids, knowing she cannot support any of them, apparently with no father supporting them (four kids ... I wonder how many fathers ...), :banghead: :hammer: and I am supposed to support her and her kids?!!! :hammer: :banghead:
It sickens me how perverse government has become: STEALING the money of people who are responsible and productive to give to people who are irresponsible, improvident, and feel entitled to be leeches!

It is from Slate, a leftist rag. Welfare creates a permanent underclass.

Her body, her rules! That's what liberals and feminists (but I repeat myself) will scream.
It's the government's job to support her poor decisions, regardless of how many she makes.

All these people are making babies are just making future bloodsuckers on the system.
