Why do I need to open my paper on a Sunday morning and see a pregnant woman addicted to heroin and, oh, by the way, who has five other children currently being raised by family members other than their fathers? Even worse, why will I have to see this every day until the series is complete? I am incensed with this liberal program. Why do I have to support women and children like this and why is the newspaper running this story? Does the Daily Press really feel it is human interest? Is there not enough news to report on? How about a story on adopting a military family whose family needs help, support or our prayers? I think the newspaper will be able to find many in this area. Maybe the more important story is why this woman has been allowed to continue to have children, where the fathers are, and just who supports all these children?
