Mom of 9 cries foul Claim: I was sterilized against my will By Jessica Fargen Sunday, January 3, 2010 - Updated 37m ago + Recent Articles + Recent Blog Entries + Email + Bio General Assignment Reporter Check out Jessica Fargen's Reporter's Notebook blog.

This is the second time Savicki has sued over reproductive issues. In 2001, she reached a settlement with CVS and a spermacide company after she became pregnant with her now 12-year-old daughter after claiming she bought and used an expired spermacide, according to federal court documents.
Savicki has nine children from several men, is unemployed and relies on public assistance for two of the four children who live with her. She receives supplemental security income, or SSI, for a disability, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, she said. Her mother has custody of three of her children. Two of her children are no longer minors.
‘It’s my choice’
Savicki acknowledged that some may feel little sympathy for her situation, but cautioned against public judgment because she is a poor, unmarried mother of 9.
“I would never have the right to tell anyone else ‘because you have this many kids that’s enough,’ ” she said. “That’s no one’s right to say that. It’s my choice. No one has the right to say you’ve had enough.
“I take care of my kids. I love my kids. I was not ready to make that kind of decision,” she said of the permanent sterilization.
Savicki said her life has stabilized in the last decade after a rocky start. She had her first child at 13 and dropped out of high school in the ninth grade.
Savicki said she’s been in a relationship with her fiance, Angel Flores Tirado, 36, since she was 25. She lives with him and the couple’s three children. Tirado helps support the family with his full-time job as a personal care assistant. Savicki said she’s had eight of her nine children while in committed relationships and hoped for one more child with Tirado.
“It’s not like I’m jumping from guy to guy to guy to get pregnant,” she said. “I’m trying to make a healthy home for my children.”
This is telling:

But she’s not jumping from guy to guy getting pregnant....

I am sick to death of these feral humans saying “don’t be judgin’ me” and then expecting people to pay for their lifestyle choices. She needed a .22 caliber sterilization years ago.
>>“I take care of my kids.
No. You. Don’t!
Idiocracy in real life. - A second dark ages is coming soon.
I agree, if the doctors arbitrarily decided to sterilize her, she has a case. I'd still like to see the facts. She may well have consented.
Which is exactly how government health care will work.
35 with a 21 year old child? So she was 13 when she started breeding?
This woman is going from tubal ligation to terrible litigation...
If a woman continues to have child after chld on welfare, there should be a law requiring her to be sterilized.
Let me help: white trash loser.
I'm sick of all this government involvement in family affairs. I love children with all my heart, I have four of my own, but I do not believe anyone has any business telling a parent how to care for and raise their children and I don't believe the general public should be forced to do so. Child protection services need to go the way of the dinosaur and leave the raising of children to those whom God has entrusted with their upbringing... THEIR PARENTS.
I know... Too simple and oh.... How cold eh?
Unfortunately, just another drain on the system.

If this is the case, I say that We The People have the right to ask our doctors, no, demand our doctors to tell us what provisions we are no longer allowed to have, & if the doctors have been put under government orders to sterilize, we sure as hell have a right to no about it.
....is Holdren lurking around the corner...
Eh? The “system” shouldnt say whether she should be sterilized or not. She should. Im amazed at the attitudes shown here. The same people who say that death panels should not be allowed, are now saying, “Woo hoo, yeah! Shes an idiot. Sterilize her!”.
Anyway, if any of her kids grow up to be productive, good members of society, maybe a doctor, a soldier, a sailor, a teacher, whats wrong with it?
no about it = know about it
Sorry!
I’m with you. There is so much wrong in this story it makes my head hurt.
Yes we do if she is breeding children that everybody else has to pay for until they are adults. Some people will just not act responsibly, so society has the right to help them be responsible and not breed more welfare dependents.
I would be in favor of sterilization as a condition for receiving welfare.
