The story is - she had a friggin back injury (don't really care how it happened), was on disability and STILL choose to keep poppin out kids!
Well, you know people can have kids despite of the fact that they are injured or sick. You made your choice to stop trying to have a second child but that was your choice. None of us is the gold standard, just because you or I make a choice does not make another person "bad" just because they make a different choice.
There are people who have cancer and chose to be pregnant. So just because something is a risk doesn't mean it isn't worth it for that person. And quite frankly it is no one's business but that person who decides it is worth to take the risk.
She injured her back, and she got pregnant because she did not want to destroy those frozen embroyos. Now that is a real pro-lifer in my book. So what? That makes her a villain! Please!
Yes, I’m going to say that makes her a villain. She wasn’t thinking pro-life when she made this decision - she is either mentally retarded, or she saw dollar signs. The moment she popped those kids out she got an agent and is looking to sell her story for 2 million and wants companies to give her free things. Sad to say, but I hear Katie Couric took the bait and is doing the story.
It’s “easy” to make babies but it’s the next 18-20 years that’s the challenge. It take a lot of time, effort and money to raise kids let alone 8 or 10 or however many she has spawned.
I work with Children’s Services and I see this crap all the time and I wish to God that you needed an evaluation and licence to have a baby. There is so much child neglect and abuse out there it is just mind boggling. Some people think that aborting a fetus is wrong but bringing a child into this world where it experiences severe neglect – no proper clothing, food, shelter, education, living in filth, bad surroundings, in and out of foster homes – that’s okay because at least they have life. Then these kids hit maturity and the process starts all over again because that’s all they know.

How do you know that she wasn't thinking pro-life when she made that decision? Do you know her personally?
I would be reluctant to judge someone that I haven't even met or even heard from out of her own mouth.
She is mentally retarded? Is that the correct term? And you work with child services? Wow!
My decision is based on her recent actions by getting an agent, trying to get a specific amount for an interview, and expecting companies to give her free things.
No offense Carola but it seems you would defend the actions of an ax murderer. ;-)
Carola,
If I, or anyone I love is unjustly accused of a crime, I would want you in the jury box! Seriously.
I think some people...not all, but some...look at this situation, relate it to their own experiences (raising children, the effort and money required, etc.), and can't believe anyone would do this for any good reason. And by that, I mean this must be the result of either seriously faulty or selfish thinking.Just curious--why are some people so pissed about this?
Personally I don't care if she has 100 kids by a turkey baster. Not my business, not my problem.
While I won't bash her, I do admit to being horrified by the whole thing. It takes all my mental, physical, and emotional energy to raise 2 children along with my husband, and I'm a mentally sound, extremely dedicated individual.
I agree that we should in general not worry about what isn't initially our business. Then again, we all affect either other one way or another. She and her children will affect all kinds of people, directly or indirectly, so in that way, it's everyone's business. But that's a more cosmic approach to the situation.
