Ocotmom only matters because people need to get their attention from all the other gloomy problems out there regarding the recession. The Duggers recieve lot’s in government funds, so do John and Kate and their 8. There’s a $800+ billion dollar help the banks bill about to be drafted so it’s easy to pick on a single mom with 14 kids. No matter how stupid this lady really is it’s still sad and it shows how much of cowards, thats right cowards americans are. And FYI this recession is of you coward’s doing, not giving life but living yours beyond your means.

Chris,
Yes, they’re already human beings, not embroynic fetuses, so they are entitled to Life. The point is RIGHT TO LIFERS should pick up the tab because it’s their theologically twisted viewpoint that brought us this disaster-mom! So foot the bill, don’t ya and ask your church group to pitch in!

Seems a good way for a minority religion to quickly gain majority.

Anna, this woman in no way represents a cause celeb for pro-life or pro-choice. She is not only mentally ill, she believes everything is about her and how it makes her feel. The real problem here is the decision of the doctor and his responsibility. He knew her situation and had implanted her twins and any doctor who prescribes medication or performs a treatment contrary to the health and well being of the patient just because the patient asks is guilty of malpractice and he should be held financially responsible for them the rest of his life. As far as any case in FL, the former governor of the state and the US congress interfered with the treatment of Terri Schiavo and they paid for it since it was clear the majority of people in this country didn’t agree with their actions. If you don’t want the Catholic Church to be blamed for this behavior, why are you so aggressively defending them? The inequality you say is built in is irrelevant when the person in question is incapable of making a rational decision and this woman falls into that category.

I bet you the doctor used his sperm to implant the octobabies. OctoDad and OctoMom are sick soul mates.

Count me in also. I think this sick, selfish bitch should have to work 2 jobs for the next 30 years to pay back her parents and the state.

This woman makes me SICK! She is the poster mom for irresponsibility and part of what’s wrong with our country right now. The state should take her kids away from her, because she has engaged in a form of child abuse, especially for her (3) disabled children. Children with Autism do receive SSI benefits, so I would guess this is what they have. While I wouldn’t consider SSI to be welfare, AFDC definitely is.

I didn’t watch the interview beyond a few minutes. From my experience in mental health I knew where it was going and it was too painful to watch. I do think the state needs to intervene on behalf of the children. But the mother also needs to stay out of circulation because in her current state she will do everything she can to get pregnant again. She will find another sperm donor and I’m not sure how to prevent that other than long term hospitalization.

The state mandates driver’s tests and licenses to drive but it seems anyone can have a child (or 14 of them) whether competent or not. My heart goes out to the children. The mother is definitely in need of serious emotional help. She is so painful to watch and listen to – she might have been better off getting 14 dogs as they are affectionate to feed her “addiction”. Unfortunately, this story may only get worse as it goes on. I pray some loving people out there petition to adopt some of the children and that can be facilitated.

The reality is – no matter what angle it’s looked at – it’s not looking to good of an outcome for the kids.

The 3 kids w/ special needs and the 8 babies no doubt require extra care. Specialists are big bucks. She doesn’t have the means to provide that kind of care; therefore, she is dependent on the state to provide that.

There are two huge obstacles in the way of the babies having a positive developmental outcome:

1. The mother is clearly dependent on the state for care. The state, just like ins., is slow to provide that level of care.

2. The mother is also clearly out-to-lunch as far as not recognizing the harm that she has caused/will cause her 6 kids at home and the 8 preemies. She will most likely gloss over any issues or not recognize them as such because she is wearing alternate universe googles.

As has been universally suggested, it would most likely be for the best for the state to intervene on these babies’ behalf.
