FLINT, Michigan -- With 10 kids and no vehicle, Latrica Ryan is used to juggling.

Going to a movie or out for dinner is a like plotting a major tactical undertaking. Not that such outings happen that much.

"It would really be nice if I could take my kids where they needed to go, instead of having to find them a ride," Ryan said. "And when we do go somewhere, I have to pay four or five people (for gas) to get us all there.

"I have booster seats and car seats. It's a lot."

Ryan, is a 29-year-old single stay-at-home mother of five sons and five daughters, who range in age from 2 months to 13 years.

And you just know that, if she votes, she voted for Obama.

In that same vein, I think someone should interview Peggy The Moocher on January 21 and ask her, “How’s that workin’ out for ya?”

The Bible also talks about fornication... I have never taken the teaching to be fruitful to include having sex outside of marriage, have you? I do feel sorry for the kids.

Obama can’t even help is homeless step-brother and he’s going to help this woman!

Yeah but he can spend $100,000 dollars on a gazebo for his botanical garden.

(Oh yeah, and buy Aunt Esther a $30,000 rhodium ring)

Yep, I guess this journalist graduated at the top of the class!

Father? There's probably 10 fathers.

The next question: Does she know which are the 10?

Speaking of NINJA...she would be the perfect candidate for a sub prime mortgage.

No Income
No Job
No Assets

By the looks of her, she has plenty of ASSets.

Sorry but that was then and this is now. You're not going to put the promiscuity genie back in the bottle without harsh and drastic measures.

This wasn't a problem when the family of the woman/girl had to shoulder the burden and shame of the illegitimate baby. They kept better watch over their female offspring.

This woman is probably a 3rd or 4th generation unmarried welfare mother. There is no family to support her and no one who would do anything different anyhow. This is how they live.

Also, fathers of boys made sure that they were better behaved and restrained, to avoid ending up on the business end of a shotgun in front of a minister.

Same story. The scum who knocked her up probably never met their daddies or granddaddies.

Well, she obeyed the command to Be Fruitful and Multiply. Interesting that no conservatives of faith seem to mention this and come to her defense.

yeah, yeah, yeah.... now is it "conservatives" or Christians? Neither is mutually exclusive.

Cause conservatives say, that you pay for your own. Now about the Christian part..

... I'm sure that it says somewhere that we should treat her like we'd like to get treated.

I'm sure that the Bible might say something like "judge not lest ye be judged"...

and I'm sure that the Bible might mention that she's not supposed to be having sex outside of marriage, care for her own children, try to keep the men she humps down from triple to at least.... double digits.... and to not be the neighborhood bicycle (everybody gets to ride her).

So there is a lot of Christian stuff that can get slung around.... kinda like her on her back, I suppose.

How 'bout we let Christ figure it out and we just comment on the events as we sinful, prideful, un-Christian FReepers see it.

It's kinda fun to see how great the "Great Society" has become. Anytime you want the government involved in behavior modification, this woman and her gaggle should be the poster faces of the government.

Obviously, this b!tch does not care about those kids. What kind of monster would continue to spit out kids knowing she cannot provide a decent future. Where is a role model for these boys? Maybe we can have a reunion in about 10 years, see which ones just appear in mugshots, which ones died from gang lifestyle, which ones are single mothers with numerous kids. And the media glorifies this??

I was a single mother with two small children. I left because their father refused to grow up and act like a man. I wanted better for my kids. Worked hard and never collected any government hand outs. Never collected any child support either. I taught my boys how to throw a baseball, football etc. Attended every little league game. Remarried 7 years later to a wonderful man who I love and adore. He took them on bike rides, camping trips, taught them to fix things. My boys are grown up but often call my husband for advice. Why o’ Why do women continue to behave so stupid?

Without a father in the house, it’s not a family, it’s a felon factory.

I feel bad for these kids. Barring some sort of minor miracle, their futures are probably going to consist of lifelong poverty and/or repeated brushes with the law.

OK. So you've arbitrarily thrown out abstinence and morality, and say we can't go back. You list everything that is wrong.

Now list some cures.

The culture that produces the names and the maladjustment is the cause of both.

I think that was the conclusion in Freakanomics. Kids from such backgrounds are pretty much screwed, even if their parents name them "John" or "Lisa." The ridiculous names are a symptom of a much worse pathology.
