You are incorrect. If the govt is supporting these kids they do have a right to tell her how many she can hae. If she can’t have them without medical intervention the medical community has a right to tell her they can’t further accomodate her. And when you whore yourself to the media or you’re a taxpayer, yes, you have the right to judge.
This woman is a complete idiot. She puts all these kids at risk and expects taxpayers to pay for her stupidity.
While she has every right to “choose” to have 14 kids (what is she smoking?)she shouldn’t “choose” for my tax dollars to pay for it. (which is exactly what will happen) I have one child because that’s what I can afford both in terms of money and time. When will people start taking personal responsibility? Oh that’s right…doesn’t exist anymore. Pathetic. I feel sorry for those poor kids…
Pleae tell me what school you can go to that prepares you for a job that will give you the resources to raise 14 kids, some with birth defects, all while single. Also, who pays while she goes to this magical school and who raises these 14 kids?
Well maybe she will join those other families that have lot’s of children and do a reality show. The Duggars with their 18 and Jon & kate plus 8. She’s gonna need the money.
to brianne Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 11:51 AM EST-”Please check your sources. Any money the Jolie Pitts have received from stories about her kids have gone straight to charity. That is not a paycheck. You are twisted.” – so are you saying that is a wise decision to bring your week old newborn into a room full strangers only to have lights shone in their face while a camera continually snaps away? whether the money goes to charity or not thats plain old bad parenting and just as bad as this woman looking to sell her story through interviews, book deals, and tv shows. She clearly see’s the media’s obsession with celebrity offspring and how much money can be made so she’s doing the only thing she can think of to turn herself into a celebrity and make a quick buck. I think she’s the twisted one, not people who think its wrong to use a child as a means to make money.
I was fully prepared to ignore this story until I started digging and I see that the mother was actively seeking out publicity at this point. The ones that are truly going to suffer for all of this are those children. I truly feel sorry for them.
This weird pregnancy in vitro story goes hand in hand with the pregnant “man” story.
Also who paid for her numerous plastic surgeries, so she could try to look like Angie?
The woman is obviously mentally ill. My heart goes out to all of the children. After 15 years of infertility I was going to go the IVF route it would have cost us thousands of dollars (I live in Canada) and my husband and I had full time jobs. Fortunately we were blessed with a child without having to do the IVF.
I really hope Children’s Services are keeping a VERY CLOSE eye on those kids.
You are an idiot.
It’s all fine and dandy to want a huge family–if you can pay for them yourself. Unfortunately, we’ll be doing that for them. My parents raised 9 kids and never took a dime from anyone and the most money my dad made was $15000 a year. You shouldn’t be having kids to fill some void in your life–they’ll only pay for it later.
holy crackers – i never thought i’d see the day when i’d agree with bill-o the clown! but this broad is the WORST kind of entitled brat we churn out in this country. how dare she use OUR money to fund her pathology. those poor kids will never have a chance at a normal life. she should be ashamed of herself and she should be sterilized. those kids should ALL be taken away from her and adopted out to families that have the resources to care for them. the grandparents should walk away from this stupid bi%ch and let her sink by herself. she’s the most self-absorbed thing since casey anthony.
Having children is a joy but the problem overall is having the means to raise a child. This women has 14 kids, just how in the world is she going raise all these children. Should the government help out? Should she get as much money she can by exploiting her story? The government should not support her, and if she wants to exploit her story, that’s up to her and the media, whoever wants to make a story about this. Really sad…..
She IS Angelina Jolie, just not with the bank account and nannies. In fact I respect this Suleman woman more. She is going to do it on her own, and not hand them over to nannies while preening and lamenting over the responsibility of motherhood in her difficult world. Ms Jolie DID have artificial implantation with those twins, and her C-sections were not due to medical reasons, but her whim. She simply has the capital to present it in a benevolent light. If this Suleman woman was an hieress or celebrity, everyone would be applauding. She also said she is going to receive help from her *church* like many large families. Wake up. She wants primitive attention just like Angelina Jolie. She just forgot that money can obscure alot of information and transform someone into a saint versus a pariah. Sad so many believe it. Why doesn’t St Angie benevolently give her some help, since she cares so much about all kids. But ya one doesn’t call her “mom” instead of “ATM”.
