I agree. If she was sterilized involuntarily, that is morally reprehensible and a crime that should be prosecuted.
That said, there is nothing wrong -— in fact, it’s appropriate -— in expressing moral opprobrium at her behavior and the way she apparently is raising is children (or not).
I bet the connection isn’t dial-up either!
And when they sterilize your daughters at age 13 because their parents are conservatives, will you still want to give them medals?
Logically, if we're going to operate this way, why not just put her in prison to keep her from reproducing? No indictment, no trial needed. It's much the same thing.
Get rid of the welfare laws that enable and support this kind of irresponsibility, before endorsing gross violations of someone's human rights like involuntary sterilization. Because if they can do it her, they can do it to you, too.
Yes.
In many states, a 14-year-old who has a baby can get food stamps, welfare, subsidized housing, public transportation vouchers, free medical care for the baby and so on. What’s not to like if you’re 14 and want to be “grown up”?
She had her first child at 14.
8 of 9 in “committed relationships”. Any of them perhaps, “married”? I have committed relationships to my close friends and pets.
I mean, I can understand being angry for the doctors doing the wrong (not one she wanted) procedure on her. But to try and get sympathy and playing the “pure as the wind-driven snow, it’s unfair to label me a whore” angle on this, that just don’t fly. Your past actions speak for themselves. You madam, are, as the Indians would say, are “Doe who cannot keep legs closed.”
I’m sure she thought she had just caught the gravy train with this lawsuit, but when I read about her a couple days ago, I wondered where she thought she would find a sympathetic jury?
It’s not clear it was against her will. She apparently had signed the documents but *somehow* they disappeared. There is a history here but the full story won’t come out now because it’s in litigation.
Physicians do not perform tubal ligations on a whim. There are all kinds of safeguards and signatures required. Something doesn’t add up here. I smell a scam.
Yep “committed” long enough to produce a kid or two then off to the next. Funny that that term used to mean married?
I am totally against non-consentual sterilization. I am also against paying for these parasites choice to population the Earth with their offspring.
I have long been a supporter of sterilizing women who receive public assistance if they already have 3 or more kids. If they can’t support the ones they got, then they either volunteer to be sterilized or no assistance. Quit feeding the beast.
But no way would I force anyone without consent.
This idiot doesn't even have a clue what a "committed relationship" is.
I resent being her involuntary slave, and supporting her and her 9 bastards.
I best not say any more.
way back when........... this woman disgusts me.
maybe with her previously “committed” partners. what does committed mean to this woman? two weeks? two-night stand? are the “committed” baby-dads paying child support or are they not “that committed”? a train wreck of a woman.
This was their version of "compassion" so let them live with it.
Clearly, the welfare system needs to be reformed (it’s much the same here, in Canada). Also, the fathers (sperm donors) need to be held accountable.
We should fix the system — not “fix” people.
Of course not. My children are more important than those children because they will be net contributors to society, not mooching parasites who take more money from people.

How?
As long as we're outnumbered by the baby factory crowd we will always be outvoted. While forcing people to be sterilized (which is not what I think happened here) is extreme, I do believe some sort of incentive should be offered to those on the dole to NOT reproduce because it significantly impacts the ability of those OFF the dole to do the same thing.
If I am being forced at gunpoint to pay for this person's medical care through my taxes, then why shouldn't I have a right to suggest what type of care that person receives?
Silly and puerile rhetoric.
If my unmarried daughter, subsisting entirely on welfare and lawsuits were as clueless and parasitic as this tramp, I would hope they sterilized her long before the 10th bastard.
And yes, I have a daughter.
And no, she is not now, has not ever, nor will ever think your income, or anyone else's, is hers by "right."
Does that answer your question?
Any notion that this is a subject which can be discussed with reason is out the window.
Read specially the comments of people who support this woman's entire life.
Scary does not begin to describe it.
Suppose all of society followed the path this womam lives. No personal effort at the survival of herself or her 10 children.
How long could that society last?
All "pets" and no actual workers?
De Toqueville's tipping point....
