Liberals will now scream RACISM since blacks are ten times as likely as whites to be on welfare.
?Enough is enough?: Rand Paul suggests cutting benefits for unwed mothers with too many kids | The Raw Story
January 26, 2014 9:30 EST
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) suggested the possibility of cutting government benefits for unwed mothers who have multiple children.
Maybe we have to say enoughs enough, you shouldnt be having kids after a certain amount, said Paul, who opposes legal abortion and has criticized the federal health care laws contraception mandate as a violation of religious and economic liberty.
I dont know how you do all that because then its tough to tell a woman with four kids that shes got a fifth kid were not going to give her any more money, Paul said. But we have to figure out how to get that message through because that is part of the answer. Some of thats not coming from government. It needs to come from ministers and people in the community and parents and grandparents to convince our kids to do something different.
The conservative senator said communities or families should be responsible for the prevention of unplanned or unwanted pregnancy, but he said government policies could discourage unwed mothers from having additional children.
Married with kids versus unmarried with kids is the difference between living in poverty and not, Paul said.
U.S. Census Bureau data back his claim, showing that 30.9 percent of families led by a single mother were living in poverty in 2012, compared to 6.3 percent of families led by a married couple and 16.4 percent of families led by a single father.
