[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 243107, member: 84"] Nancy you made a very wise point. And I agree. No one should be able to tell you how many kids you can have. On the other hand the state shouldn't pay for fertility treatment either. I can't believe that was even covered. Especially considering how hard it can be to pay for necessary procedures at times. These types of multiple births have always bothered me on a certain level. While I understand a mother not being able to terminate some fetus's to ensure the fate of others........a hard decision under the best of conditions........Once these litters of multiple babies come home it becomes a community project to raise them, most especially during those first 2 years. Baby food companies, baby product companies lavish these Mom's with gifts just so they can feed and diaper their 5-8 infants. There are tv shows and specials about them giving them celebrity status. I don't see the same baby product companies offering freebies to low income families. I dunno. I like Jon and Kate plus 8. I respect that couple because they work hard to tend to their family as parents without ten tons of help from outside. They foot their own bills. And yeah, I know the show helps.......but that money is going for college funds. The real problem is that many of the parents of such large mult births can't do that. I think there needs to be a regulation as to how many embryos can be implanted at once. That at least reduces the chance of such large mult families. This lady is scary. I hope [B]CPS [/B]keeps a very close eye on her. Just my 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
