Octomom is a disgrace

The more I see this pig on TV the more disgusted I get! At first, the story of the 8 babies was a "feel-good" story on the news and all the Dr.s were shown with huge smiles, & then the truth began to come out. She was unwed, on welfare & disability, already had 6 other kids and she lives in a 3 room apartment and her mother cares for the kids. The doctors obviously had no thoughts for their Hippocratic oaths. All they could see were $$ signs. They had no concern for the quality of life that these children would have in the future. And now, the state of CA (already in the hole for what? 46 billion) has to pay MORE money to this selfish, self serving piece of crap? I'm sorry, but animals have litters of 8, not humans. Isn't this almost like "hoarding" animals? Doesn't the ASPCA usually come and take the animals and put them up for adoption? Wheres the army to come and take some of these kids so that they can be put up for adoption and maybe have a REAL home with 2 parents who LOVE them for themselves and not for how many welfare checks they mean? She's a disgusting pig and someone needs to shoot the b@*&% and put us all out of our misery.

Excuse me, but if you read the articles, it states that she was the one who paid for the IVF procedures with money that she had saved prior to her first pregnancy.

You are right of course. I'm sure no sane person would do this. And yes I blame the liberals for allowing-or should I say orchestrating-the policies and the greed that we have now to undermine the morals of this country. It's a disgrace. What happened to the people's right (as stated in the constitution) to go out into the streets and protest?. Our country was based on a Republic, ".....And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands..."not a democracy. People have become weak and have forgotten our rights and the whole fabric of humanity has become unraveled. No wonder why the Anne Coulters, Bill O'Reillys

What do you think our country is based on, if not a democracy? Are you for giving up your right to vote? A republic and a democracy are usually hand in hand, not mutually exclusive.

I'm a bit confused, sorry.

She paid for the IVF herself.

I guess you probably realize that divorce, for ex., is higher in conservative states?

"Are you suggesting that democratic policies and ideals, like voting, be banished in your country?

In Cali there is a top limit on the "number of welfare checks" one can recieve no matter how many children you have. There is also a time limit on recieving welfare payments before having to go into a Calworks program.


I'm also sick of the assumption that if a child has married parents or two parents they automatically are in a healthier or more loving environment. My biological father beat the crap out of us. Brusies, broken bones, physical injuries that have lead to chronic pain issues and disabilities
