Teenagers are deliberately getting pregnant so they can collect welfare and food stamps, and have their own apartment at age 18. They are spending the welfare money on gold chains, tattoos, and designer clothes.

Who says kids are not learning anything in schools. They are sure learning how to live off the welfare teet!

[mtbopfuyn]

There's no shame in getting pregnant.

Yes, there is. Disgusting we have no morals today.

[Gay State Conservative]

And in other news,the Pope is Catholic and Ted Kennedy will take a drink on occasion.

"There's no shame in getting pregnant."

There should be.

[derllak]

Oh, yeah and nevermind that this poor child has no daddy in it's life or what it learns from having a mommy thats too friggin lazy to work or what it's like to grow up in poverty.
Sad that a child is just a mere toy to these morons.

[Habble Gabble]

Great and when there kids grow up guess what? They will be the ones on welfare and robbing people. What a great system (sarcastic)

My Lord, what a load of idiotic emotional twaddle.

I haven't seen this much estrogen on display in a male writer since I stopped reading Andrew Sullivan.

Hell they do this at 14 in Canada... cause momma and pappa don't love them...

Did you hear the one about FEMA putting those Katrina evacuees up in motels for months at taxpayer expense? Oh - the pounding those mattresses must be taking.

What nation on earth is as stupid as the United States of America?

[patriciamary]

So what's new?It's called generation's of welfare,and what's sad is we keep on giving more and more.

[TNCMAXQ]

All the preaching about responsibility and "safe sex" is falling on deaf ears I guess. Teen girls have children they cant afford and enter into a life of poverty. Then we hear the media, the elites, and the race baiters scream that poverty and lack of opportunity is caused by white society. Or of course, it's Bush's fault!

[308MBR]

Did this article say they were not white?

This happens quite often in white families too. They say you know you're in East Texas when you sit down with a family for dinner, and the father lets his 12 year old daughter smoke at the dinner table in front of her kids.

Admitedly, the odds are good the subjects of this article are black.

[LongElegantLegs]

Teen girls have children they cant afford and enter into a life of poverty.

They can't be too poor; "They often dress their infants and toddlers in designer clothing and outfit them with 14-karat gold earrings, necklaces, bracelets and finger rings."

I shop for my kids at second-hand stores, and have never been on any government program; guess I'm the stupid one...

[Doogle]

...it's been going on for years. Welfare moms who give up their kids to grandmothers because they don't know the first thing about motherhood, but they know how to fill out welfare forms....again and again and again

[RockinRight]

They're proud to be welfare whores.
