FYI. I'm just thinking of where this will go....

On the Internet, bloggers rained insults on Suleman, calling her an "idiot," criticizing her decision to have more children when she couldn't afford the ones she had, and suggesting she be sterilized.

"It's my opinion that a woman's right to reproduce should be limited to a number which the parents can pay for," Charles Murray wrote in a letter to the Los Angeles Daily News. "Why should my wife and I, as taxpayers, pay child support for 14 Suleman kids?"

Population control jerks will use this like crazy. Limiting the amount of children we can have, and forced sterilization??? We already went down that road in the late 1800's through the 1920's. Eugenics is back in vogue, I guess. Very not good.

I don’t think she was courageous. Almost certainly, she was required to be on bed rest for months. For a woman like her, what’s not to like? Somebody else had to take care of the other six, and cater to her, as well.

Last one. Series. More from the article I linked:

“From the outside you can tell that this woman was playing the system,” host Bryan Suits said on the “Kennedy and Suits” show on KFI-AM. “You’re damn right the state should step in and seize the kids and adopt them out.”

Seizing people’s children and adopting them out?!!! The woman is obviously a bit nuts herself, and probably shouldn’t be getting a Masters in counseling, since she needs it herself, but to make a political “poster child” out of a mentally unstable person will backfire. watch the liberal death cult have a field day with blog comments and talk radio....suddenly they’re interested in what talk radio has to say. lol!

I’ve carried multiples myself so I KNOW it takes courage to get through such a pregnancy and give birth (especially a surgical birth which increases maternal mortality 4x).

I will continue to raise some red flags in this case because so many conservatives here don’t seem to realize the dangers of joining with liberals in heaping overwhelming criticism, even death threats, on this woman without realizing that such a case could backfire on the rights of the privacy of the family unit. She loves children — that is not a mortal sin. The babies are not even home from the hospital yet and there are cries to take them away from her by force. We have to be very careful not to allow ourselves to be used by the liberal press on this case to recommend force in this situation, when there are millions of other single mothers, many on welfare, who could also have their children taken away by the state.

I had twins. Did you have more than that?
