Top Right News reported a Texas man, unable to work
because of his pregnancy , successfully applied for and
received public assistance. He is allegedly earning $
3,500 per month plus food subsidies and free medical
services.
Adam Smith, 42, seems to have been the lucky recipient of
poor bureaucratic oversight, a clerical error or extremely
lax standards. Texas officials have yet to respond to
multiple inquiries.
"I just can't work with the hot flashes and morning
sickness," Smith told TRN. "All I can manage to do is
watch TV and eat for two – me and the baby."
Smith claims pregnancy for men lasts much longer than
it does with women.
"It's a 36-month term with men," Smith said. "I'm
currently three months along. After I have the baby, I'll
likely need to be on assistance for a couple more years.
I'm thinking six years total. Being a single parent is
extremely difficult, plus I have diabetes, back problems
and have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress
disorder due to watching too many horror films."
How does a man become pregnant?
"Through sex," Smith said. "Just like with women. Its
rare, but happens."
Smith said he doesn't know who the biological father is
as he had multiple sex partners during the time period
he became impregnated.
"I have a drinking problem," Smith said, "And forget all
the dudes I sleep with so there is no father to help me
out with the huge expense of having and raising a baby.
I'm thankful Texas has a social welfare system in place
to help the less-fortunate."
