Without welfare, the mother would likely give he children up for adoption by responsible people that can afford them. At least she would have that choice, and the choice to raise the children in poverty, thus causing them to suffer, would still be hers.


People are lining up around the block to adopt poor non-white babies?

Mothers have no natural human emotions of attachment to their offspring?


Single-mothers gave up their humanity when sleeping with "bad men" apparently.

I don't think it's single mothers who lack empathy here.

If you have something thoughtful to say about a difficult topic, that's fine, but please don't post ideological rhetoric to HN threads.


I will not stop posting about uncomfortable topics because of your disapproval.


It's not the topic that's the problem, it's the pre-existing political boilerplate. That stuff doesn't add to conversation, it destroys it.


Judging by the responses to my "boilerplate," inluding yours which consisted of a run of the mill ad hominem attempt to shut down the conversation by white knighting, and others which were non-arguments and sarcastic these are not arguments that people have considered.
