Got a call from my mom today (she lives in San Diego, California).

Seems she was in line at the grocery store...in front of her was an Hispanic woman with three small children. The woman was paying for most of her groceries with WIC coupons (welfare).

My mom got very brazen and asked the woman why she had so many kids when she clearly couldn't afford to buy food for them?? (Believe me, this is how my mom is).

Anyway, the woman said (in broken English) that it wasn't her decision to have the children...it was God's decision. So my mom asked, "Are you going to have any more?" And the woman answered, "That's in God's hands".

So then my mom asked her if she thought it was right to force taxpaying Americans to pay for her children's food. The woman said, "God provides."

Okay...my mom is an atheist (as I am as well). What on EARTH should she have said to counter this woman's ludicrous excuse for breeding irresponsibly?

For any of you people who are religious, I truly would welcome your input.
