married and having 6 kids already be allowed to be impregnated with 8 babies. Science gone mad, I find it hilarious that a state in California's
shape would allow this. All the Mds and nurses smiling, what a freak show, with the taxpayers paying millions in medical benifits as well as welfare for these 14 kids, rumors are circulating that she is an illegal as well.

Who paid for the impregnation? IVF is expensive.

Only in California? Highly unlikely.
I thought you were against abortion? Isn't all life precious to you?

The state is paying for it, so it is promoting it. This woman was already living off welfare handouts.

The news does not seem to want to report on that.

Whoever did this is guilty as hell of malpractice. I tend to think there are some very politically correct reasons the media is avoiding this aspect.

Why? The facts are only just coming out - news emerging as of last night. Once all the facts are in it will be the subject of plenty of editorials and maybe some reprimands or even legislation.

Maybe she is looking for a TV deal? We could call it Me, Myself, and I with 14 Rugrats? I hope not a dime of government help goes her way. People like this woman should not be allowed to have children in the first place.
