Ms. Pelosi, Meet A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H!

[Grace]

She had started a new thread about this topic. Karen merged that thread into this one.

I had no idea. Is there notification when that happens?

I don't think so. I only knew it because I had seen her thread and posted a link pointing to this one. Karen let me know that she had deleted my post when she merged D&D's post with this thread. It does look funny if you are reading along and then see her post asking about opinions about the topic being discussed. I just thought I'd clarify why it was there.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Sorry everybody. I didn't notice that the topic was already being covered. Karen PM'd me to let me know that she was merging.
I was only looking for the word "Octuplets" in the title and I missed it.

Anyway......I was reading this story earlier. I went to the website for the Whittier newspaper. I can't believe this woman had 6 children and wanted IV for "just one more child". I can understand that it would be hard to make a decision to abort to reduce the quantity of eggs. What I don't understand, why did a woman with 6 children need more children at all?

I was a single mother so that isn't a question in my mind. I am a huge supporter of single momhood. That's not really the point. However, husband or no husband, she's going to need alot of help.

How does she expect to care for these children? Did she think about who would pay to raise them? Raising 14 children is going to be difficult for her. Her father is willing to take care of them financially with his salary from his job in Iraq. Her mother says she's always been obsessed with having children. Ay yi yi!!

I really don't know what to say about this. It's mind boggling.

Admit it, You have problems with the alphabet!

I would not have posted the story had not the esteemed senator from the Great Late State of Cah lee fuh Nee Ah, not come out and put her stilleto in her kisser!

Whether she can "afford" them or not, whether she has a husband or not are irrelevant facts to me.

The planet cannot afford them.

People bitch and moan about the government interferring in our lives. If we continue to do stupid things we get laws to try and control our behavior. Someone has to if we cannot control ourselves.

I consider anyone giving birth to so many children no better than a backyard breeder or someone who does not spay or neuter pets.

Irresponsible! I cannot understand why there are television shows that glorify people who have lots of children. (Or so I have heard...)

You must have missed the Today Show when they 'featured' this SuperSized Family >>>

"Meet the Duggar family — all 19 of them ...
Arkansas couple believe children are ‘special gifts from God’ "

Before I nodded off last night, I saw on TV that it will cost a minimum of $480,000.00 for hospital care for the octuplets and that's on top of the cost of the invitro process itself. I'm sure this woman has this much money put aside for just such an occasion and won't have to rely on the dole at all.

Hmmmm... Facist much ES?

Where do you get off saying this was a stupid thing to do? And as for having too many children, don't worry... We are aborting WAY more than people like her can make up for.

Why can't you looney lefties just be happy? I don't care what YOU do, as long as you stay out of my life. Why can't we ALL do that? Why do SOME have to think they know better for everybody else?

Kinda funny to hear this from the person whose mantra often is "we have to do it for the children".

And I guess it makes no difference to you, that you and all the other taxpayers are footing this bill, and will for years to come???

GUILTY as charged

ES: Very well said. TLC is promoting everything these days. It really annoys me to see so many ads for shows that are that ridiculous.

Ya know, I don't necessarily think that we should have a 'limit' to the amount of kids people have, but honestly sometimes I think that people should have to take some kind of test before they are allowed to have kids. Between this loon, and all of the other threads in the doghouse right now about people killing their kids.....ugh

I don't disagree - have long been an advocate if we require a license to drive a car why not to have kids. The problem is...who would write the test?

Not in a million years. In my world, the book of laws would be about 3 pages long, double spaced.

I mean God summed it up on two stone tablets. LOL

Don't forget the Five Books of Moses, the Written Law, the Torah; otherwise known as the first five books of the Old Testament.
