My attitude is that she made the decision and then reneged. I wouldn't consider preventing someone from having kids... but once they have done so, and then neglected them, then they don't get another chance. I don't prejudge, but once someone has a track record, I certainly do judge them by it.

oh, and the difference is I'm not saying "she can't take care of them"(predictive) but "she didn't take care of them"(descriptive)

If someone has kids and neglects OR abuses them, they should forfeit the 'right' to more kids. We have enough people already on this planet with severe issues to willingly add to them.e
