There is no comparison between the Duggars and the octuplets, so stop saying that
The correct comparison is to the McCaughey Septuplets. The Duggars had them one at a time, and had them via the United Way.
The McCaugheys used artificial methods--fertility drugs in their case--to create a large number of children in one batch, they eschew selective reduction and they couldn't have afforded to raise the kids without a LOT of donations or without selling their story to magazines and television shows.
11. And once the kerfuffle quiets down, WATCH as the corporate *gifting* starts
No - I don't believe I'm jumping the gun.
Do you honestly BELIEVE that this little *publicity package from heaven* is going to be ignored by the corporations who are looking for PR? From what I've already read, the grandmother is overwhelmed, the Mom obviously has a bizarre OCD problem about kids.
I'm sure the anti-choice groups and the corporations are having to utilize drool buckets while they wait for their turn at this group. I'll even wager Oprah's people either have or will be calling them soon.
I have no problem with corps giving out gifts or having a TV show to make their income! With all the bellyaching about how our tax dollars are going to spent on these babies I have ZERO issues with anyone wanting/trying to help.
20. That will depend on how telegenic those kids are, or how many of them end up impaired.
Happy-Happy-TV Land does not focus on ill children..and this mom seems to have a mental issue too..
Combine those things with the fact that she "may be a muslim" she's never had a husband, cannot support those kids and you don't have the formula for a hit-tv show..
15. the others were IVR also, and she didn't want to be married, just have kids
so says the mother. My question now is to wonder if she could have gotten pregnant via a simple Artificial Insemination rather than the more expensive and invasive IVR method.
But way harder on the mother's body to do them one at a time.
No, for me it really doesn't gain them anything. Any benefit the Duggars would gain in the court of my opinion is more than offset by pimping out their kids on a TV freak show.
They are all odd and bordering on the pathological.
19. I supposed you cannot but they managed to keep their adopted
daughter off, put her through college. That is what they promised to do. The idea is that you do not bring children into this world without thinking about it very seriously. This girl with here babies has obviously thought only one thing - I want a baby and now I want another one - and another and now I want one so bad that I will use a method that very often delivers multiple births. I actually feel sorry for her and her mother. And the children.
