as far as mr. bores eloquent example- if the woman meets the current program guidelines as set by the current leaders, then she has an absolute “right” to any funds the program provides under the guidelines.
everyone else >18 either endorsed the leaders that approved those standards, or didn’t organize enough votes to elect policymakers who better reflect their ideology.
don’t like it: work/vote to change it, or shutup/leave (look me up when you get to cayman!)
PS- “why the chicken crossed the road” as told by:
Pat Buchanan - to take a job from a decent hard working american.
MLK jr - i do not know why he crossed the road, and i may not be there to cross the road with you, but I look forward to the day when all chickens can cross the road without having their motives called into question

That representative government belches a law or program is no guarantee of correct principles followed. The principle of self sufficiency and strength through adversity as desirable and necesary character assets are ignored by welfare programs as designed and administered by govt.
The absence of these traits creates dependency and depresses incentive resulting in a lack of, or false self worth. The presence of lowered self esteem/confidence coupled with low motivation, encourages sloth and other human nature flaws which can lead to other poor choices and their consequences, which, if unrecognized, will stain the lives of the rest of society.
The subject in question does have the legal claim to any "assistance" organized and ratified by govt., that much is true. "Right" has very little to do with it, though.
For the record, we live in a democratic republic as prescribed by the founding documents.
