Apparently the new CTC regulations mean that you'll only be eligible for two children.... unless the third is a result of rape. Who is going to assess that? ATOS?

Seriously, I would like to wipe that smile of Iain Duncan Smith's face and put his vile fist pump where the sun don't shine...

The amount of women that choose to keep a third pregnancy after stranger rape much be tiny

Corrected that for you.

No need, thanks.

If a third child that cannot be afforded without benefits is brought into an abusive marriage, there are better ways to deal with the problem than giving out extra unearned money.

Not giving the extra money may even prevent some of those pregnancies if the abuser is after more money.
