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

[RICHARD]

My state senator, the esteemed Nancy Pelosi, and Speaker of the House -commented about contraception and how it would effect the economy if 'unwanted' babies were never to be concieved.

Apparently my Senator thinks that if these children were not born, money could be saved -No medical care, school, food and other essentials!

What a wonderful idea, Maybe she can 'head them off at the pass' and promote abortion too?


Ms Speaker? I would ask you to recognize the woman who delivered the 8 babies, AT ONE TIME NO LESS, at the Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Facility yesterday!

I am sure you can draft up some kind of bill or legislation honoring this feat and the woman who pulled it off! (I am counting on you to do the flip flop kind of thing that all politicians do all the time!)

--------------------------

These are the kind of stories that happen all the time, time being the key word. Politicians make really dumb statements, then have something like this happen in THEIR back yards.


Unless these parents have megabucks, these kids will become a sideshow media circus- Jon and Kate? YOUR 15 MINUTES ARE DONE!

Companies will fall all over themselves to court, promote and make these poor kids a media circus. They will get a bus, 4 washers and dryers, Pampers until mom potty trains the lot of them.

The docs will walk the halls of the hospital basking in their 15 minutes until some one pulls 9 outta the hat!

Incredible!

I couldn't believe my ears when I saw Ms. Pelosi's interview. Yes, we all know that the more children you have, the more costly it is.

What's next? A one child policy like China?

She has no concept of life or being able to afford kids-remember, she asked for a bigger airplane to fly her family back and forth from Cah lee fuh nee ah to D.C..

I do not advocate any kind of fertility drugs or having more that four kids at one time. I have a problem with people wanting a 'litter' and putting the babies thru extended periods of hospitilization. Some parents go for the multiples, then should one of more dies, they have this giant pity party and we are supposed to feel badly for them- The forced the issue and it's really sad that thise kids have to die over a parents stupidity.

I am only talking about 6 or more births at once and have already have discussed the parents who do the one or two in-vitro pregnancy. This gal obviously did the fertility thing and I feel that that's just wrong.

[Catty1]

I think the "multiples" do result from fertility drugs, but the parents don't plan for huge multiple births!

I suspect these news stories are news because they are such large numbers.

Most parents likely have the one or two they wanted, or sadly - none at all, in spite of the expense and efforts.

[RICHARD]

The parents are the the nutcases that will do anything for kids.
The woman gets pregnant, puts the kids and herself into danger by going on with the births, Should one or two not survive, they chalk it up to divine intervention, should all survive they chalk it up to divine intervention and never look back.

The last two days there was the story of the quints that were born 13 years ago and the parents who's kids were killed in an auto accident, then decided to 'replace' them with a set of triplets.


What a freak show.

[Catty1]

Those 'nutcases' are driven by a primal desire to have children that is beyond what I can understand; it's what is at the root of a species to preserve itself.

Along with love, hope, despair and even love.

Not a place to expect cold logic and rational thinking. It may come from the doctors - but will not be heeded by the parents. It may be their only chance to have kids.

She can have another 8 in nine months, correct?

LOL,

With six you get eggrolls.

Yes she can. And it's possible that she would- There was an interesting story about what the docs can suggest in this instance. The diff with invitro and fertility drugs is that with In vitro the doc will implant fetilized eggs. With drugs the ovaries are stimulated to release eggs.


Again, I was working on the same floor as the NICU and seeing preemies struggle to live, it's a real shame that people place children in such dire circumstances.

[phesina]

I heard on the news today that she is a single mother and already has something like 5 or 6 other kids. ..?

[Hellow]

I can understand people /adopting/ or /fostering/ that many kids - not giving birth to that many yourself.

[RICHARD]

She had 6 kids, two are twins.


I just cannot believe it.

Rose,
If she has more kids she belongs in a museum.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Sorry if this is already a thread somewhere.

What does everyone think of the story of the woman in Whittier, CA, giving birth to octuplets? I'm reading that she already has 6 children between 2 and 7. She has no husband and went through IV(Invitro fertilization)for all the children, including the octuplets.

Opinions please........

[pomtzu]

Don't get me going on that one. Let's just say that my thoughts are all negative - especially when it comes to who is paying for all of this! She should have been spayed long ago!!!
