re: #80 ggt

I think I’m relating this incorrectly. The point is to have more children. Women do want children. If you don’t have to worry about supporting them, many will keep having them.

Remember I’ve most recently worked as a cashier and processed those transactions for free formula and food for the kids. No shame involved. It’s a way to have the children you want without having to worry so much about supporting them.

No one seems to have ever told these (often very young) women that this isn’t the best way to start young lives. AS long as the money is there, they won’t change their behavior.

If it’s the choice between some minimum wage job or boring school in a subject they arent’ interested in or staying home with the babies … Hell, I’d stay home too. Babies are great.

I just was brought up differently. I want to support myself or support my husband to do what he loves to to.

But the evidence is that the teenage pregnancy rate has dropped to an all-time low, so it seems there aren’t that many young women churning out babies for checks.
