There seems to be a lot of controversy about the Government's intention to cut Tax Credits. The BBC have done a few items about this, choosing members of the public who are in receipt of these credits to appear and present their case and say how hard it would be for them. There was one lady who protested on Question Time last week, who was a mother of four or five children, and another this morning who had six children! Why do these women have so many children that they can't afford to keep? There is no excuse these days...birth control is readily available. I have never heard anyone challenge them as to why they have so many children, and who do they think is going to pay for them.  I have a cat...I would dearly love to give a good home to another one, but I have to take account of what it is going to cost to take care of another one, so I won't have one.  Maybe these women should think first before producing child after child. It is irresponsible to have them and then assume that the state will pay for them.
