This is the mind set of the welfare state. When I worked labor and delivery back in the 70s, I had a patient that was 22 years old with 6 kids. She desperately wanted to get her tubes tied. At that time the husband had to give "permission" for the procedure. Her husband would not sign for the procedure because "they got more money for every kid".
Octomom is a single woman with 14 kids! She is receiving $2000 a month in food stamps.
What happened to welfare reform?
In the days of old when families had large families, it was to help farm and grow their farms and ranches. Everybody worked.
