A mother has given birth to eight babies in a hospital south of Los Angeles, the world's second live-born set of octuplets.
Dr. Karen Maples told KCAL-TV that the babies were born Monday at Kaiser Permanante and were "doing quite well."
The hospital says the mother, who asked not to be identified, gave birth to six girls and two boys weighing between 1.8 pounds and 3.4 pounds.
Dr. Harold Henry told KCAL that "they were all screaming and kicking around very vigorously."

Nazi Pelosi is very displeased...the birth of eight babies is bad for the economy (in her wizened, botox-laden eyes).

The hospital says the mother, who asked not to be identified,
Interesting. Let's just pray that this isn't a case of producing more freeloaders.

I’m sorry but I don’t see how this is a blessing. I had twins after already having one and said I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Do you have any idea what it will really be like with 8 babies?

So, who said California is losing population?
With one fell swoop, one mother took care of the population loss in California.

Sure. But they are alive and kicking. The parents did not do selective abortion and chose to have the babies. Its all a blessing. Sure its going to be hard, really hard but not all blessings are easy.
