95. Do the math
I myself, am a single(male) parent, AND a recovered addict(Meth). I have been clean for 8 years.

NO amount of rehab will help her unless SHE wants to change. I went to rehab and I learned that 90% of adiction problems come from the company you keep.

I wanted to change.

I beleive in freedom of choice. Whether it be pro choice, or pro life, BUT I do not beleive in pro IGNORANCE. This lady is 31 years old with 7 children, the oldest child being 12 years old. That is a child every 1.7 years

31-12=19 ( probably pregnant at 18... whew)

12 years divided by 7 children = birth every 1.714 yrs

1.714 years divided by 9 month term = pregnant every 8 months after delivery. Hardly an amount of time to start or hold a job, let alone a career.

CONTRACEPTION is a responsibility if the needs of your present children can not be met. We as American should NOT have to "support" someone and their children because they can not keep their legs closed.

Chances are that there a multiple "unknown" fathers. The judge make the right decision even though it is utterly impossible to enforce.
