Sad
I'm a optician and we take Medicaid for glasses. I see a lot of people who come in with 4 or more kids. What upsets me is often the kids have different last names. (like 3 or more different last names) Most of the moms are really young. I just feel sad that its the kids who will suffer in most cases. Never enough money, not knowing their fathers, lack of stability in their life's.
I do have limited conversations with the moms. They often tell me they have no extra money to spend on anything other then what Medicaid will pay. Due to the father or fathers lack of support.
Just venting. Had a young mom with 5 kids yesterday and 4 had different fathers. She broke down and cried when her kids had to wear the frames that Medicaid would pay for. (kinda ugly frames IMO). Her oldest child was trying to comfort her.
My heart was broken. If I had money to spare, I would have purchased the frames for the kids myself.

It's the kids my heart is hurting for, not the mom or the dads.
And FYI a lot of them are white, so its not just back folks having litters of kids.
And I don't think that you're being judgmental. I think you're having an opinion. There is a difference between having an opinion and passing judgment. If you recognize the fact that you don't know each and every person's scenario and, therefore, can't form a qualified and fair judgment against them, then you simply have an opinion based on what you see.

poor mom. they need to stress sex education in the school here in tx they practice abstinence. add that to religions that dont believe in brirth control and you have this.
But Planned Parenthood doesn't perform all abortions, there are non-PP clinics out there.
