Regardless of the ethical analysis of the mother’s and physician’s actions, it is undeniable that baby fetishists encourage this kind of shit by treating families who have multiple births as some kind of heroes deserving of adulation, who are paraded all over teevee and given metric fucktons of free shit.

Cross posting the comment I made over at JLK’s hut … the mother’s publicist was all over the Incredibly Awesome And Highly Respected Mainstream Media last night saying that she was looking for a career as a child expert on tv and that they were open to offers. That’s right – the octuplets are only a week old and the mother has a publicist already. Fucking ridiculous.

Oooh, hold the phone … her agent is on CNN right at this very moment … Blah, blah, blah, she’s an amazing mother, blah, blah, she wants to tell her story, blah, blah, everyone will love her once they see her on tv.

Raising one child is exhausting. I can’t imagine this many and I imagine the women who end up in these situations aren’t aiming for 8 babies.
Then again, meh. I think I’m too tired to finish my comment.

She’s amazing mother? Unfuckingbelievable. Her publicist will no doubt track down some tv or book deals because Americans do love a good freak show, but if she does start making money I’m hoping the hospital, the doctors (the ones in the delivery room and neonatal ICU), the state of California, and anyone else who’s had to foot the bill for this nonsense makes sure she never collects a dime of it.

I don’t think the godbags and fetishists are praising this one. They were until the media revealed that she’s single, unemployed, living with her cash strapped parents and has six other children, one of whom is autistic, all of whom are the product of a sperm donor. And she’s Muslim.
I don’t remember which one (I think it was out of LA), but some right wing digital rag has already published an op ed piece on how this is all part of a grand scheme for Muslims to increase their numbers and take over the USA.
The fetishists will save their love for more deserving candidates. This woman sounds like she has a very serious psychological disorder that was indulged by some sick fuck “doctor”.

Meant to add that all the interest in this story is equivalent to a 90 car pile-up on the freeway. It’s so hideous, you can’t help but to keep looking.

This is so full of lulz because quite a few of the people who’ll end up bitching are part of the insane “Quiverfull” movement that plan to turn the US into a fundamentalism Christian theocracy through reproduction. I guess it’s only bad when the evil, terrist Muslims are doing it…
