AHEM

Freedom of Choice means choosing to have an "irresponsible" amount of children too.

Be better prochoice feminists NAO PLZ

both at no one in particular and a good 20% of the kotdam innernets.

I'm not a feminist, but am a champion of personal responsibility.

Does that mean I can be critical? :P

y'know as long as you're not claiming to be a prochoice feminist, well, it's still not really your business how many babies anyone but you has, but I wouldn't think you were a hypocrite anyway.

It technically is my business, insomuch as she was already on welfare prior to the latest additions.

You'll probably disagree, which is fair. We don't see eye-to-eye most of the time. :)

welfare? I was under the impression she was on food stamps (which cap out at a relatively low amount no matter how many kids you have -- a cap she assuredly had already hit) and SSI disability, because she incurred an injury while working in a state hospital. oh, and student aid.

yeah, big old welfare queen there.

this shit is tired and was pretty much shown for the specious classism it was about 25 years ago. must we belabor it under the guise of differing opinions?

right?

last night on the O'Reilly factor, Ann Coulter was calling down all the liberals and pro-choicers who objected to the so called "octomom" (as in "Look out, it's octomom! come to destroy your bootstraps and undermine you family values!) and her choices and I was absolutely horrified that, for once, she pretty much had it right, as far as what the left thinks. sadly, she missed the part where "liberals" are no more exempt from classist, judgmental, shitty fuckwittery than conservatives.

it may also interest you to know that programs like foodstamps and financial aid for students create an aconomic return that is greater than 1:1 for the gov't.

yeah, just because she's getting food stamps must mean everyone has a right to an opinion about her uterus.
I'm sure a huge chunk of your taxes are going to support her and all those cadillac driving welfare queens. A whole penny out of every tax dollar goes to welfare, A WHOLE PENNY OF YOUR HARD EARNED TAX DOLLAR GOES TO IRRESPONSIBLE WOMEN LIKE HER.
When you figure how many people use welfare, she personally gets, what, a whole 1/5,000,000 of your tax dollar. That definitely gives you the right to say what she should be allowed to do with her body. you may actually give her a whole freaking penny if you get really rich.
