Woman claims "I was sterlized against my will!" after having 9 children...

I really feel like we're missing part of this story. Obviously, we're hearing her and her lawyer's perspective- but I'd be interested to hear what the doctor's and their lawyers had to say in response.

If this was truly done with no precedent for the need (which I have a hard time believing), then she deserves to win. It's her decision, and her body. Unfortunately, it's our tax dollars- but we have no way that we can stop her legally.

I agree we haven't heard what he doctors/hospital's lawyers have to say.

I seriously wish we could cut people off after a certain amount of time on public assistance. It's so ridiculous how so many people abuse the system.

Like people who come to get food from a food bank wearing full-length furs, gold chains, and driving Escalades?

TRUE STORY.

Sorry, if she takes one penny of public money she is NOT taking care of her children. Public assistance was not meant to be something that you stay on forever but rather a short term "assist". Speaks volumes that her mother has custody of three of her children.

Agreed.

I think that a woman is entitled to have as many children as she can pay for.
And raise on what she and her HUSBAND make.

If that makes me old school, then hell yeah for the old school.
