You can't assume they will want to have a big family because they were born into on. You can't condemn a person because their parents had a big family. I personally wouldn't condemn someone for not terminating a pregnancy because it was 8 babies instead of one. This Mom wanted another child and was blessed with more than that. As long as these children are loved and cared for then there is no reason for you or anyone else to ask what is wrong with them! Closed minded people are really the problem with this world, not people who want and have a family.

There is something wrong with this person. She's already got 6 kids, one of which is a high maintenance autistic, no husband, no home of her own, and she's a student. Do you think this is appropriate to then want 8
more kids, all born simultaneously with the complications of prematurity? And raising 14 kids who are staggered in age, is very different than 8 synchronously moving through all the phases of development.
This is not about closed minded people, this is about a complete lack of judgement and gross irresponsibility. Do you honestly think she is going to be able to meet the needs of all her children? Children are a privilege, not a right.
Seeing as how she is clearly not compos mentus, I blame the ######ed doctors who made this circus a possibilty. Someone sold out huge, and I hope the medical licensing commitee reviews this.
