In trying to justify the endless free healthcare lunch Obama wants to give to all the illegals and unemployed, the liberalistas often pander to one's sense of chivalry, whining, "What about the poor women and children who will be hit the hardest if you cut these programs?"
Well here's one little lady, from Mexico of all places, who proves any dirt poor woman can get along just fine without free healthcare if she just shows a little ingenuity and gumption:
Woman performs Caesarean section on herself
Though I admire this woman's can-do attitude, I must say I do find it a little dismaying that she would go to such great lengths to do an end-run around the pain of childbirth which God in His infinite wisdom surely intended for her to endure for much longer than a mere twelve hours:
Just the same, I think every preggo woman looking for a handout from the government ought to be required to read this story and be able to articulate its salient points before any government cheese is doled out to her.

Woman performs Caesarean section on herself
Alone in her one-room cabin high in the mountains of southern Mexico, Ines Ramirez Perez felt the pounding pains of a child insistent on entering the world.
Three years earlier, she had given birth to a dead baby girl. As her labour intensified, so did her concern for this unborn child.
The sun had set hours ago. The nearest clinic was 80km away over rough roads, and her husband, her only assistant during a half-dozen previous births, was drinking at a cantina. She had no phone and neither did the cantina.
So at midnight, after 12 hours of constant pain, the petite, 40-year-old mother of six sat down on a low wooden bench. She took several gulps from a bottle of rubbing alcohol, grabbed a 15-cm knife and began to cut.
By the light of a single dim bulb, Ramirez sawed through skin, fat and muscle before reaching inside her uterus and pulling out her baby boy. She says she cut his umbilical cord with a pair of scissors, then passed out...

Genesis 3:16
16Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
