The girl obviously has what are known as "issues" in today's lexicon of euphemisms.

I HATE eupemisms - it's a perversion of the language.

In the old days we would have just said she's a ****ing moron and leave it at that.

The sterilization thing is a very slippery slope, a little too much on the Dr Mengele side for me -

On the other hand, she's now created 8 lives - in addition to her other 6 children - that she can in no way support either financially or - given that spooky mess between her ears - emotionally.

Hard to think of something like a birth that should be a source of joy being a tragedy of sorts when you start to consider what those children will have to face in the future...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
