Shouldn't we tell them what causes babies?

During the recent government shutdown, people on WIC were worried they'd be cut off from their freebies.

Patricia Jones of Newark, NJ, was pictured with the children she feeds through WIC. There were three children in the photo, the oldest one obviously with some sort of disability. The youngest one appeared to be about 2 years old. She has two other children who weren't in the photo.  Cierra Schoeneberger, an unemployed mother of three laments that it costs her $40 a week for formula. Without her WIC voucher, "Am I going to have to feed him regular milk, or am I going to have to scrounge up the little bit of change I do have for formula or even baby food?"

Maybe we should use some of that WIC money to tell Patricia and Cierra where those babies are coming from. If you're a single mother with a disabled child you can't afford to feed, why on earth would you have four more? If all you have is change, why would you have a another baby. Where are the fathers of these children? Can't they "scrounge up some change"? Patricia said of the shutdown, "You're affecting families that haven't done anything to you." I beg to differ -- you're taking my money, Patricia, to support your profligate lifestyle.

The article accompanying the photo detailed other problems caused by the shutdown. A Wisconsin farmer who couldn't cash a check for a cow he sold, Indians who aren't getting their nutrition programs and financial assistance, and other sob stories. If people's lives were really that disrupted because of a couple of weeks of government shutdown, then perhaps the lesson we should be learning here is that government has its fingers in too many pies, and we have become a nation of dependents. It's time to man up and restrict government to its constitutional mandates!
