    SO politically incorrect, and yet SO very damn true. All wide eyed dreamy "anything is possible if you have love in your heart" crap aside, it's the society who will pay a brutal cost in monetary terms and the children who will pay the emotional, social and likely physical costs. I have zero, count it, ZERO respect for this woman and the airhead who implanted the embryos.

    The part that upsets me is that this woman is unemployed and living off taxpayer money in the form of disability payments for some of her older children. As far as I'm concerned,people getting taxpayer money to raise children do not have the right to go out an have more children.
    I think that there needs to be a major review of fertility clinics' approval guidelines, this clinic should not have approved her for implantation.

    It is all that sunshine mixed in with earthquake tremors. I also bet she is getting donations from people of money, clothes, food, toys, diapers etc.

    Hmm, there should be some kind of checks and balances to stop welfare participants from popping out babies in order to increase that monthly stipend.

    Unless things have changed again (a distinct possibility) in Florida. if you have another baby while on public assistance, you do not get any additional money. Medicaid pays for the pregnancy, but no new cash dispersments are given.
    The exceptions to that rule are if the baby is born disabled, or if a grandmother takes in new grandchildren. Those cases are handled differently all around.
