And what are you suggesting as your method for enforcement of the new rules? Sterilization? Abortion? Birth control pills in the water?

If we have overpopulation in this country, wouldn’t the immigration policy that is being suggested, of making several million immigrants citizens, just make us come off as an even larger consumer? Will we get credit, when the rest of the world says that we use too many resources, for the people we have taken in from other countries?

And, have you noticed, that all of the nations that have complained about our overconsumption are now wondering what they’re going to do since our “over consumption” has been reduced and their economy is affected?

And I, too, am wondering where all this money came from to pay the bills because artificial insemination isn’t cheap and most of us can’t even afford basic health care any more.

Someone on TV earlier tried to compare this welfare mother with Angelina Jolie. Bradangelina? They can afford the children they have and the money they take for pictures goes to charity. And, btw, I’m not a fan.

Also, I’ve worked with refugees as a volunteer and it’s a complete jungle. Europe is going to face a lot of problems because some groups simply do not want to integrate in the culture they’ve moved into, they just want a piece of their own. There’ll be many many Kosovos to come, we can be sure of that.

I have been interested in how population, demographics, and immigration intersect. It’s particularly interesting to me to study why countries need immigration. What was interesting to me was that low birth rate, combined with programs such as socialized health care, programs for the elderly, welfare, etc. create a little revenue challenge for the state. Picture the nation as a pyramid with those of highest need (and therefore greater tax burden, and often lower tax paying) at the top of the pyramid. At the bottom of the pyramid, you need constantly maturing citizens to collect taxes from. When that doesn’t happen, they use immigration to fulfill the need.

In countries like say, Denmark, for example, the government instituted some pretty liberal immigration policies some years back. As a result, they have many, many immigrants, and now are finding that some these people, much to their chagrin, do not wish to become part of the Danish culture, and now exist in such numbers that they represent a voting bloc. I have recently read of some disturbing patterns emerging there and in other countries in Europe, that I, for one, hope not to see repeated here.

You may also look to Japan, for what is happening there as a result of their low birth rate. They are actually trying to get employees to go home earlier from work so that they can make babies. Russia has resorted to sort of sex holidays where workers are encouraged to take the day off and go have sex. They also recently tried a moratorium on abortion for a week in order to increase the birth rate — they are that desperate.

At any rate, any time I hear people talking about taking free choices like your comment seemed to, it sends shivers up my spine.

All Nadya wanted was another girl. She was not expecting 8 more children. I think we should be very careful how quick we are to Judge her.

The doctor has no control over how many embyros wil split into 2. If he did indeed implanted only 2 embyros, Why should he need discipline?

I see a family court appearance for “super mom” and grandma too. Don’t know if the city of Whittier or the County of Los Angeles will have to perform the dirty deed, maybe they will flip a coin. With this little drama splashed all across page one of the local and national news can Child Protective Services be that far behind? The local authorities are probably dotting their i’s and crossing their t’s to make sure the inevitable imposition of state care will be as above board as possible.

So the short answer to the question posed by dcmediagirl is rather easy. It is the lucky tax-payers of California that will eventually get stuck with the bill. The children will most likely end up in foster care or group homes. The state can not have 14 children crammed into a three bedroom house, not in view of the national media at least.

How Governor Terminator will find the funds to support this brood when the Golden State is bankrupt is another question. Plus he or more properly his administration is going to have to find out how the medical safeguards were overridden. Look for Sacramento to fire-up the printing presses and create even more regulations and laws.

Also look for the medical field to do a top-to-bottom review of policies and procedures regarding IVF. Look for regulatory entities to crack down on enforcement and oversight. And yes look for Glenn Beck to have a field day with this story. It is a daily double for him and the anti-immigrant crowd not only is the female a foreigner she is a Arab. Glenn must feel that he has died and gone to heaven.

Just sayin…..
