More Government Intervention Gone Wrong

Doesn’t this just make you want to put birth control in the water supply?

A 16-year-old Argentine girl has given birth to female triplets – for the second time.

The girl, named only as Pamela, had her first set of female triplets aged 15, having first given birth to a son when she was just 14.

All seven children were born prematurely but without any kind of fertility treatment.

So, how do we discourage her continued procreation, and discourage her peers from repeating her mistakes? Why, build her a house, of course!

Pamela’s family already receives help from the provincial authorities, which donated land and built them a house when the first set of triplets was born.

Pamela’s mother, who cleans houses to support her daughter and rapidly increasing number of grandchildren, says they will now seek more assistance from the government for the new additions to the family.

Not common sense! Nooo! Not that!

Some Argentines are arguing that perhaps what Pamela needs is more advice on contraception.

I don’t know about birth control, but they should make the father(s) build/enlarge the house. Society shouldn’t have to pay

Yes, I agree.. Talk to the girl about birth control, and perhaps how to close her legs =P
