Who knows what God has planned for these children? Perhaps tomorrow the mother will marry a millionaire who has longed for a large family all his life, and will provide for them...God does not make ‘accidental’ children—He has special plans for each and every one of these precious children.
I find it a bit appalling some of the comments about sterilizing her, etc. Those children aren’t going to suffer—there’s going to be people out there helping her out, regardless of whether or not she looks like Angelina Jolie or whatever...who gets to decide how many children she should be allowed to have or that she gets sterilized to prevent her from having any more?? Are we living in China now?! :-(
One HOPES those children will have good lives, but we need to consider the practicality of the situation. There are many scores of children born each day. Some have good lives, some have horrible lives.
"I find it a bit appalling some of the comments about sterilizing her, etc."
I really don't. She can't take care of the children she currently has. To bring 8 more into the world is beyond irresponsible. The doctor that AGREED to allow her to be implanted is even more guilty in this regard. That is malpractice. Where was the responsibility here ? You wouldn't logically implant that many embryos in a woman who WAS a stable individual with a healthy income and marriage.
"Those children aren’t going to suffer—"
You don't know that. You can't make that claim in a logical way. You HOPE they don't suffer, but I don't believe this lady is playing with a full deck. She has no business with 6, let alone 14. She shouldn't have had ONE child until she was either married or capable of being financially independent. In acting so recklessly and selfishly, she has demonstrated behavior antithetical to being a sound and responsible parent.
"there’s going to be people out there helping her out, regardless of whether or not she looks like Angelina Jolie or whatever...who gets to decide how many children she should be allowed to have or that she gets sterilized to prevent her from having any more?? Are we living in China now?! :-("
China permits one. This lady had 14, no husband, no job. You cannot tell me under any circumstances that makes any logical sense.
Yes, I found that emphasis on ‘ugly’ quite repulsive. But having said that, this is what a society gets, if it penalizes the industrious and rewards the lazy.
She has used the system to sucker the others to allow her to proliferate her genetics into the gene pool. In a just society, she would have self-restrained herself, but the public dime that pays for her allows her the luxury to do otherwise. This is how societies die. This is how poverty multiplies.
He had special plans for Caylee Anthony and Mary Yates, too.
IMHO if God had plans for this woman to have 14 children she would be married & having them the old fashioned way. Not using a friend's sperm. I don't think God came down & told her to get herself 14 children . I just don't think he did. And I highly doubt some millionaire is going to want this kook unless he is a kook himself. Don't you get the fact she knew the medical facts for these children were risky? After all she has 3 children already with problems. Prayers for the children as they sure will be needing them IMHO.
We are living in the former United States of America in the Age of ophra, and zero. And in the words of the great Prophet,Dr. Phil, get real. ;0)
God didn’t make them, the mother and doctor did. She ain’t gonna marry a millionaire.
