Quick fix? How about if you are supported by the Government during the term since the prior election, you don't get to vote in the next one?

This brings up a whole big can o' worms that tends to drive "feminists" into apoplexy, but...

There was once a serious societal stigma to bearing kids out of wedlock (or at minimum, outside of a committed relationship,) but as khalling alludes elsewhere here, the comically-misnamed "feminist" movement swept all of that oppressive, paternalistic judgmentalism aside years ago. And this chaos is the result.

The only fallback inhibitors to uncontrolled fecundity amid zero financial ability to support it used to be heavy-duty disapproval from society-at-large, and grinding poverty. Since the welfare state has swept that secondary disincentive aside in much the same way (and on the same philosophical basis) as the masculinists swept aside the simple disincentive of shame, the one remaining fallback inhibitor is:

Complete collapse of an economy that can no longer pull the dead weight of welfare behind it.

The blithe expectation that "somebody [else] needs to be held accountable" springs from soil fertilized and cultivated as a rich medium for it, for decades.

Chicken + Roost = x
Solve for x.

Accountable means the person responsible for the problem should pay. The adults who agreed to have those children are the ones responsible.

Isn't it a sad commentary on our times that this woman feels completely justified in saying that 'someone' needs to take responsibility for her children? It would not be at all surprising to find out that her mother espoused the same beliefs; and probably her mother before her.

She is absolutely correct that someone needs to pay and if she will look in a mirror she will find exactly who it is that needs to pay!

Geeze! And some people still question sexual education in public schools, birth control methods and yes, abortion. With so many humans on earth, what´s so awful about sparing a soul or two? Anyhow, as a last resort a mother who can´t stop having babies is not legible for the job you know, it´s hard enough to raise one alone for you to go about having...15! I knew a poor, humble lady who had 16 kids. Eight with one man and eight with another. Some went to an orphanage, others just "got by". Had a daughter who´s keeping the family trade, already by her 13th child! Yikes! And I know ´em all but....please, "when you gonna learn"!

I have no sympathy for that woman and many like her. It's not a new situation. I remember the same thing going on in the mid 60's and it had gone on prior to that in the 50's. I can have some feeling for the children, but the reality is that we all know where they're headed. Altruism is such a great thing, isn't it?

"somebody" needs their tubes tied

You play; you pay! Period.

This is what progressive policies have produced. For all those who deny that we have created a dependent class they need to speak to this woman.

she is beautifully confident and empowered. a true feminist. camila paglia, I await your praise for this wonderful woman

Actions have consequences. Causes have effects. Effects have their causes. This is Reality 101. This disgusting parasite is emblematic of the results of the policies enacted by the Welfare State. Achievement and virtue are punished through confiscatory taxation, deficit finance and inflation to keep these cockroaches alive. Shame on these parasites, the legislators that support them and the members of the public that continue to vote in these duplicitous leaches.
