A judge on Wednesday, July 18, 2007, ordered that seven children be removed from their house in Lubbock, Texas. The mother of the children, who ranged in age from 9 years to 11 months, miscarried an eighth, which led to the discovery of the dead fetus in a baby wipe box in the refrigerator. Authorities came to the home after the mother called a funeral home trying to find a casket for the fetus. The children are now in foster care.
I cannot believe that in this day and age, people still do not use some type of birth control! Of course, it is easier to have children you cannot afford so you can collect money for each child.
I think if you have children you cannot afford, that instead of our government paying these people, they should remove the child from the home and put it up for adoption. I bet you would find that people would learn how to use birth control real quick!

I've wondered sometimes why women on welfare don't have to get one of those once a month birth control shots. After the first baby, get a shot when you pick up your welfare check. Get off welfare, then you can have more babies if you want. But I don't understand having one baby after another when you can't pay for their care.
I came from a family of 6 girls. My Dad was a farmer, my Mom helped him and made all of our clothes. We did not have much money. But not once did my parents depend on anyone for anything.
But this was a very different generation. Then it was common to have large families (especially farmers - I think they kept trying for a boy!!).
Every one of us was born in a hospital and my Dad paid cash for the hospital bill.
We often times had pretty lean meals. Pinto beans was a staple on our table (to this day, have a hard time eating them!!).
Of us 6 girls, one sister has 2 children, another has no children and the other 4 of us has one child each.
We had children according to what we could afford. Do not understand the thinking of people who do not understand this concept.
