I can agree with one mistake, but two, three, and so on and keep living that lifestyle that got you into the mess in the 1st place. I think it should be a law to do this.

At the risk of being slammed -- yeah, I've thought that for years now. Or at least MAKE them get a job and go on birth control of some sort -- THAT, I'd be willing to help pay for.

Welfare creates its own problem. It takes away the consequences of unplanned pregnancy. It encourages the "dumbing down" of our population.
The fact is, if there was no welfare, and no free medical, people would not be getting pregnant.
The USA has a sweet welfare system, and thus has a lot of unplanned pregnancy, and illegal immigration. The UK is the same way. However China has almost no "freebies" at all. They have a very small number of percentage of unplanned pregnancies and no illegal immigrants.
If young women had to have their babies in garages or alleys, and had to eat out of trashcans, they would definitely not be getting pregnant.
Have you ever listened to a person on welfare talk? I can't believe how they think they are entitled to everything. They say things like, they wish they were Swedish were they pay people to have kids. They don't consider the fact that the taxes are so high in Sweden, and the fact that Sweden has a reducing population.
Yes they should sterilize people on welfare. But that will never happen. If they did, then the ACLU would keep count. If .00001% more minoritys accepted sterilization than whites, the system would get called "genocide".

I totally disagree with this. A vasectomy and having tubes tied is a VERY permanent thing. I get state help but not because I'm lazy or I don't feel like having a job. I have a medical condition and I cant drive to a job nor can I work for a very long time unless my work wants to have someone who has seizures on a regular basis working for them. I'm pretty much a liability to any job I could ever have. So I work from home and I own my own business. Either way its still hard for some people to get by. My husband works at a plant but right now he is unemployed because they don't need him so we get maybe 100 bucks a week from his actual job if we couldn't get WIC, food stamps and unemployment we would be on the streets and would have no food at all. So you are pretty much saying its ok to put people out who really need the help. The law cant take away our right to have children. We are trying very hard to get off government help but it takes time and it takes a lot of work believe it or not. Until you have been on it yourself I don't think you could understand how hard it can actually be.

Im going to answer from personal experince. While I do not recieve cash assistance I do however reciever food benefits. I am a single mother of one. His father does not help doesnt want to. I was not on food assistance until a few months ago (my son is almost 3 y/o) I used to work in retail as a manager making a nice salary and having no financial problems. Unfortunately, I was laid off.
Looking for a new job wsnt easy as I have no college degree and anything w/ a comparable salary requires a BA or higher. So I decided to go to college and better my life so that I wont have the proble of no degree anymore. So for the next 3 years I will only be working part time so I can go to school full time.
So, my point is that all these "Mistakes" usually arent mistkaes at all. Most children are born when families are stable and later they lose their stability. Please read your stats and facts.

I think it depends on their motives. If parents choose to keep having babies so that they can keep their welfare, I don't agree with it. But if parents intend to work and get their own health care later, I think its ok. It's a hard one though. Not all jobs offer insurance, so what are those people supposed to do? I know a woman who's babies are on medicaid. She is taking online courses from a college. She intends to go back to work once her kids are in school. I think this is a wiser decision, and that her use of medicaid is not harmful.
However, those people that just keep having babies so they can keep their benifits I believe are abusing the system. The system is there to help those who need it, not for those who abuse it.

No I don't think so,I know in the state of oklahoma to get on welfare you have to have a job and if you don't or get fired from yours they make you find one,otherwise you don't qualify.I grew up on welfare and there were 3 of us kids and we weren't mistakes,and my mom raised us by herself with NO support from our dad,and she had a full time job.Most states have laws about abusing welfare,I think there should be MORE laws about abusing it but to make someone get their tubes tied or a vasectomy, no that is just wrong.

Its SO hard to say one way or the other. By saying, "Close your legs and get a job!", I'm being judgmental. I know nothing about their circumstances. However, it seems like SO many people abuse the system. To people who are going through a rough patch and really need some help for a few months, welfare is a blessing. To people who "live" on it and do nothing to better themselves..... not cool. Just my opinion.

i agree with you to a certain extent , but some people just can't find work ,,or aren't skilled enough to do the jobs that are on offer , I'm in the u.k and although there are many people out of work , the government insist they have to appear to be looking for work ,sometimes its no fault of their own , redundancies are a big factor of good people being out of work , also age some employees ,will not give jobs to people over forty ,so what chance do they have ? single mothers do not have it as easy as you may think ,I'm one of them ,but i work part-time ,but i would be better off not working but i wouldn't begrudge someone getting benefits if it was a genuine situation be a little more sympathetic , it could be you one day !!,

The United States will not pass a law that requires its citizens to have a surgery. Thats pretty Nazi-ish. Not that I don't wish they would stop breeding. But you cant control reproduction like that, its called Eugenics and it is HIGHLY looked down upon mostly cuz of the nazis. Plus what if you lost all your money and already had 3 kids and your wife got pregnant....... sir we need to do an operation on your penis, is that ok? uh...no.

I do not agree! Having the babies is not the problems..the problem is the lack of jobs and good paying jobs that are NOT out there for people to have..hell sometimes the only option is to get on welfare.do u have any idea how much child care is? how much medical is? Well welfare does and they give it to u for free! U almost have to be a millionaire in todays society to even have a family...and lets face it...todays jobs/house market.is not making it possible for people to make it....

yes,that is what i think.why should i put my tax dollars to work for someone that is lazy and sits back and let's the government help them and have babies..I'm basically giving them money and saying ok here's my money now go make alot of babies and sit around and let me give you money for it.No,
they should be made after a period of time to go get a job no matter what it is where it is.Not be able to not work or work little and let me pay for them....I could work if I wanted too.but my husband makes enough that I don't need too..But I have a seizure disorder that is controlled by medicine and I drive..
