Perhaps because Mother’s Day is right around the corner, there are a lot of controversial moms in the news this week.
Another porn star/mother is Alana Evans, who appeared on Dr.
Drew’s HLN show May 1st and was reported on the Huffington Post.
"Porn saved my life. It gave me a way to be with my son, to be with him every day after school," Evans said. "It gave me enough to take care of myself to take care of him, to pay our bills without being on welfare and stay off public assistance."“Evans even came to the defense of "Octomom" Nadya Suleman, who shortly after filing bankruptcy, has reportedly signed on to star in a masturbation video for extra money."Any woman who's willing to do whatever she has to to take care of her children -- even if that means doing porn -- good for her," Evans said. "Other people may not agree with it, but ... in reality she is putting her kids first."”
I totally support women doing what they need to do to make
ends meet as long as they feel good about what they are doing and not harming
anyone.
Perhaps the big issue that isn’t being addressed is that
porn is the best option these women see for themselves as a way to make enough
money to support their kids and spend time with them.
Why is that? Why are there not better options for working
mothers?
