Letter: Reader backs abstinence over welfare mothers being spayed

Published:

By Mark Leland

I enjoyed reading (David Pisarra’s) most recent column (“Welfare mothers should be spayed,” June 26). I live off of Social Security and I get Section 8 Housing. I have not had sex with a woman in nearly 11 years because I know, as a poor man such as myself, I could not afford to support any kids. I believe poor people, such as myself, have no business having children. It is not right for society to have to support poor people’s kids. I decided a long time ago that I would not be sexually active. Abstinence works 100 percent.

Too bad more poor people, like me, do not understand this.
