When browsing forums I tend to poke my head into random threads with the intention of reading the replies until I get to one so foolish it makes my brain peace out. 

Congratulations; this post is what made my brain give up on this thread and stop reading! 

He's actually not wrong, some people do that. My brother's wife has an older sister who slept around with as many guys as possible with no protection in order to try and get pregnant, so that she could stay on social programs. She ended up having like 9 or 10 different kids with different fathers, most of which got taken away by child protective services, except for the 2 youngest children who my brother and sister-in-law adopted once they got married in order to prevent them from going into the foster system. Eventually the government was forced to require her to get a birth control implant. Unfortunately, once the implant wore off after 5 years, she went right back out and did the same thing again, having 2 more kids that got taken away by child protective services. 

How does getting children taken away by CPS equate to having children for more government money? If that was the purpose for your brother's wife's older sister then she would ensure the government doesn't take the children away so she could keep getting more government money and/or child support payments.
