Question

suppose a pregnant unwed girl already getting public support because of being disable., with a boyfriend no job and no prospects and is looking for more gov ernment help to support the baby. You support her decision to keep the baby and get more government help. Please only answer if you support her 100% Do you own your own home or rent, live with parents/relatives.

Answer 1

I was going to be really mean with my answer but decided to go against it...I'll just go with this answer
mooch off of me & the government... I mean, thats why I pay taxes right? & Thats what will probably happen anyway....

& tell your boyfriend that he needs to get a job & provide for his new family too.

Answer 2

I own my own home and am married with a 14 month old. Ideally it would be best if the dad would go find a job. "No prospects" is not an acceptable answer unless he has a disability that limits him. Heck, go work at Walmart or McDonald's. You do what you gotta do. However, if the fact remains that both parents are unemployed then yes, it is acceptable because it's all about the child and the child's health and not about how I feel regarding the parent's. Better for them to live off the government money and have a healthy child than still sit at home and have an unhealthy child.

Answer 3

I would support her decision 100% I would also support some job training/placement for the boyfriend and a serious chat about birth control.

Should we force people who are poor to have abortions and only the well-off can have babies? Sorry, no. I've known too many people from poor circumstances who grew up to do great things.

Nope---I don't rent or live with my parents. I would be the person footing the bill for the girl and the kid. Just like I'm helping to pay for the local state university (I'm sure there are some lowlifes there) and the state highway that anyone can drive on, and the fire, police and ambulance personnel that haul drunk drivers out of their smashed cars. I am also helping to pay for internet access for communities around the country and I'm willing to bet more than a few pedophiles are using those lines to commit crimes against kids.

I am also footing the bill for a questionable war.

So out of all these things, which bill do I resent the most? It isn't a girl trying to take responsibility for her actions and not take the easy way out.

Answer 4

What I think is that If she or the boyfriend has no job and is living off the govnerment needs to get of there ***. To support the baby. For the mom being disable then she should be able to stay home and take care of the baby. While the boyfirend should be working one job to pay all the bills and everything or have 2jobs. Like mines does. I think about well if the baby can't be tooken care of the way he/she should be then i think they should think of adoption until the mother can be able to find a man who can help and take on the job to care for all of them. But if she can take care of herself and the baby then she should keep the baby.

Answer 5

I rent my home, I have 2 children and am pregnant with my third, I have a disability, I am not married, but with the man I will be with forever and I work 2 jobs to help support my family. If you wish to live off of the government than that is your perogative, but its an awfully lonely and ridiculous life, just keep shooting those kids out to get more money, thats what all the white trash says isn;t it?

Answer 6

Not really an opinion if only the people who agree answer. Here's what I think, guessing that the disability is something that keeps her from working, and that the father is actually attempting to get a job (if he is able), then absolutely, the government programs that she would have access to are in place for that exact reason. However, if father and or mother are not working because they can live off the government if they don't, then they are too irresponsible to be parents anywho. Either way, I would suggest living with parents, if they are willing...cheap babysitters! :D

Answer 7

First of all, How dare you say 'Please only answer if you support her 100%'...

There are many jobs available for a handicapped person, I have a 22 year old sister that is severely mentally handicap and somewhat physically handicap, And she's been working since she was 17, She doesn't make a whole lot of money, nor does she work a whole lot of hours, But at least she's trying..

Just like you should be.. *shaking head*

I don't support anyone 100% that is taking advantage of gov't help.

I'm 27, And we are currently renting our home.

Answer 8

The government is there for support for people who are trying to help themselves. Surely there is some work that she can do? My best friend is blind and he still works, and if you couldnt afford to have a baby, why did you want one? Is your boyfriend working? why no prospects? Sorry I dont support her 100%, if she were looking for work or at least tryign to support herself then I would, but this is breeding a generation with the thought of 'why work? my parents never did and they could afford to raise us'

Answer 9

Yes I do as long as she has a job trying to support the baby, not just taking money from the government

Answer 10

I don't believe in abortion, but I am sorry....I don't think you should have gotten pregnant. Why should hard working american's have to short change their children, when thousand's are taken out of my husband's and mine paychecks for taxes to support you are your dead beat family. I bet your mom was the same way, it seems to be a cycle in this country and I pray to God these elections today help bring some brains to the table to stop this. It's not fair to hard working people to have to pay for your *** because you don't want to work! Don't tell me you are too disabled to work at a desk, cash register, or whatever....BUT you are able to have sex. WOW, how selective of your abilities!
