I do think overpopulation is a problem.

I also think that people should be able to do whatever they want to do with their own lives, as long as it harms no one else AND they can pay for it themselves.

So, I suppose, as long as they are not asking for hand-outs or getting welfare, it's no one else's business but theirs. It would REALLY irk me if WE were supporting seventeen kids with our tax dollars.

I, like others mentioned, simply do not understand why the public is so fascinated with stories like this. If they want to have litters of offspring, so be it, but let us not glorify the choice.
