[quote=sd_matt]If we have to pay for the consequences of peoples actions then we should have a say in their future actions. That’s part of my definition of equality.

Oh you’ve already had six kids? Well, since we the public will have to pay for the eight more then we say “NO”!!!

Liberals! Make sure we are all willing to share the burden before you commit us to the burden! Forcing people into socialism is an oxymoron, at best. [/quote]

Do you see any liberals here (or anywhere else) defending this woman or her doctor? Don’t blame liberals for this – frankly, most liberals have smaller family sizes than conservatives (and yes, there are PLENTY of oversized conservative families that milk the government for all the support they can get for their enormous 10+ kid families).

The doctor should (and likely will) lose his license over this, and deservedly so.

However, the kids in all this are innocent, and we should treat them as such.

I’d love to think of a way to punish the woman without punishing the kids, but this one is beyond me.
