Do you want to help this woman:

HOUSTON —Shell Reed's 1-year-old needed diapers. Her 4-, 6- and 8-year-old girls were outgrowing their clothes faster than she could replace them. And with her oldest kids — 11, 12 and 13 — taking their classes virtually from home, food expenses for the family were soaring at what seemed to be the worst possible time.

Shell had a 13 year old. No mention of a husband. Apparently she was able to pay the bills, because she decided to have another kid.

Shell had a 12 year old. No mention of a husband. Apparently she was able to pay the bills, because she decided to have another kid.

Shell had a 11 year old. No mention of a husband. Apparently she was able to pay the bills, because she decided to have another kid.

Shell had a 8 year old. No mention of a husband. Apparently she was able to pay the bills, because she decided to have another kid.

Shell had a 6 year old. No mention of a husband. Apparently she was able to pay the bills, because she decided to have another kid.

Shell had a 4 year old. No mention of a husband. Apparently she was able to pay the bills, because she decided to have another kid.

Shell had a 1 year old. No mention of a husband. She now recognizes that she is having problems putting food on the table.

The article suggests that we feel sorry for Shell for having 7 kids and bills. I don’t, do you ?

You're pro-birth and anti-planned parenthood. Deal with it.

Tex, realize each fetus is sacred.. each sperm, even those of Congressman Gates is sacred... each one wiggling in a Republican Mastribatory hand is sacred. Monies for birth control and woman's heath is to Republicans is immoral to the church people who contribute to the open hand of Republicans. But once a child is born the Republicans stop caring ... not our problem that welfare lazy person junk ... cut the food stamps and support. Nor should we educate them out of poverty.

Republican thinking is much modeled after the classic feudalism system... A good example is the Irish Potato Famine... England helped a bit at first but then decided to let the Irish Bastards Starve.

Is Shell a woman of color or is she white with blue eyes?

Two-faced hypocrite.

She knows how to open her legs, that we may surmise. The baby-daddies (some of them) may help with expenses. Without more info, we must hold our tongue.

It is a made-up story used by the OP to make another r****t point.

anotherview Loc: California

How so? Please explain. As well, define the term "r****t" as used here.

Kmgw9v Loc: Miami, Florida

It is a contrived story to demonstrate how irresponsible, selfish, undeserving and needy Shell has been. What was not said, but implied—-is she a woman of color or white?

anotherview Loc: California

We could say, "If the shoe fits, then wear it." But instead, please do 2 things: One, address my first reply. Two, tell how the story implies "a woman of color"?

A third thing comes to mind: Please define the expression "woman of color."

I will not sanction your buffoonery.

Force her to identify the fathers then go after each one for child support.
No government help at all until after each and every father is found and forced to pay full child support.
Then require her to work as well.
There will be no government support needed.

Gee, Wouldn't it have been eaasier if she just got an a******n?
See, you guys are only pro-birth, once the baby is born, you want nothing to do with them.
You can't have it both ways.

Now that's close to being a r****t comment. What difference does it make??

Architect1776 Loc: In my mind

Who mentioned a******n?
You sound confused with life with that silly comment.
