LOL @ "latest set".
This may stir up some controversy, but I think that China might be onto something in terms of population control. At least. as far as public support/welfare goes.

Indeed it is controversial, but why would someone think it's a good idea to have more children if they can't afford the ones they already have? There has to be a better way for our government, or some power that be, to handle this. I do know in some states, if you have another child while on cash assistance within a certain time frame, they will not add on that next child to your welfare check. At least that's a step in the right direction, although that child still is entitled to Food Stamps (they're two different programs).

ok, after the first set of twins there should have been some tubes being tied. especially at that young age. the second set? girl, ya got miracle-gro in your veins...use everything on the market for protection!
keep in mind people, that there was one other child at the very beginning...so this actually totals 7 kids. im not judging her, but my goodness, if you are struggling now, what do you think an extra 2 kids is going to do? she will be in outright poverty! this is unfair to everyone involved...she has lost her childhood, the kids no longer have a woman 100% dedicated to mothering at her utmost potential, the father of the "latest set" has to deal with a truckload of baby daddies...what was she thinking??

If any of those fathers are paying child support, typically, a child support payment from a father for 1 child is higher than for two+.. so it's a better deal for these girls to have babies with as many (employed) men as possible.
I've seen a fair number of cases of these women who bounce from guy to guy collecting child support checks and babies.

FYI doctors will RARELY perform a tubal ligation on a 20-year old unless there is a very strong medical reason.

true, i know in some cases they will only do it past a certain age or # of children...and in this case i think she had hit the minimum needed a couple of years ago! regardless, she should still know all her other options. if you have 2 sets of twins, get on birth control and get pregnant again, well, that just was meant to be...

True. The sad thing in her case is she has ALL of those children and no husband. What if she finds Mr. Right and he wants his own children

You are correct. If you have a child (birth or adoption) after receiving a check for 10 months, that child (and future children) will not be added to your case. More babies doesn't equal more money. That's a welfare reform change effective August 22, 1996 (can ya tell I work for social services?).
I hate seeing my clients come in pregnant AGAIN, with baby #3,4,5 or higher.  I'm struggling with my one, and have help from her dad. sheesh..
A box of 12 rubbers is $3.75 at wal mart and are free at the health department. sheesh.

^^^AMEN TO THAT NIKKI!
there is a huge difference between those families on Discovery who have 17 kids, and the one who lives on 100% state support. the biggest difference? it always seems to me that the families on Discovery always planned for 17 kids, i.e Dad has a super paying job, they buy/build a huge house, they are skilled at organizing and budgeting, and they stop when they reach the desired number...
...these girls now? they breathe in too hard and pop out kids. they arent planned for, who has more than 3 kids in a 2 bedroom apartment if they can help it? who wants to go on state assistance if they can help it? it has got to be a miserable feeling...
