That'd be cheaper than supporting all those poor kids.So should the government give these women free birth control?

Um, why shouldnt you have your kids help out once in a while? Maybe not every day, but it isn't wrong that they help with their younger brothers and sisters. Plus, camera's dont show alot of stuff so we dont really know how much the older kids are delegated.
If you have the love, support and finances, why not have 25 kids?![]()
I guess it depends on a number or different factors.
The only example I can think of is China's One Child Policy because of the rapid population growth in the country. The government pays for things like child care, education, etc. if a family has one child. If they have more then one, then the family have to pay everything for themselves. I think the only exception is a family living in rural areas can have another child if their first born is a girl, because the guys work in the fields.
I'll just choose other because I don't really have an opinion on it.
So, what's your thoughts on octomom?No way. Couples should ba able to have as many children as they want.
The Government should have no control over that.
Yes, I partially agree that that is a real possibility. But our culture and norms are much different than China. So you have to factor that in as well.That example is exactly the reason why I chose no.
I mean, in theory the idea of the government regulating the amount of children people has doesn't seem too bad. A little invasive, but nothing harmful.
Until you look at China.
Due to the fact that families would have to pay SUBSTANTIALLY more for another child, there are tons of orphans. Especially due to the fact that culturally, boys are wanted more, because they stay with their parents in old age to care for them, whereas a girl will take care of her in-laws with her husband.
Thus, parents can have like 3 girls and give them all up and keep trying until they get a boy.
It's just. Awful.
And it would be TERRIBLE if this started in America.
It could never, there would be an uprising.

The people I have a huge problem with are the ones without the finances so they rely on the government. Who gets to pay for those kids? You and me.
But that's like blaming the children. They're the ones who would no longer get medical care, food, etc.Honestly, if the government cut all the programs that support mothers in need, there wouldn't be conniving women who play the system by popping out children left and right.
I'm sorry, but it's psychologically damaging for children to be raised in a household where the mother hands off motherly duties to her older female children because she can't take care of all of her children at once. To the people who say, "If they can support, care, and love for all 25 of their children, so be it" but nobody can do that. There isn't enough time to properly care for 25 children, or even 14. I think what the Duggars are doing is emotional child abuse, and it's wrong.

And I agree about the Duggars. You simply cannot care for 18 children at one time. There's no way to give them all the emotional support and bonding that they need.
I just meant we shouldn't be giving out free money to the parents. Like WIC, the money that is given to them should have strict regulations. Sadly, a lot of the time money the parents are given to take care of their child doesn't even go to their children.
I dont think thats even possible.
Like if the limit was like 6 kids or something
would the octomom get two taken away?
i think it sounds reasonable, but it takes away rights (in the U.S.)
I definitely agree that welfare (specifically food stamps) should have more regulations.I just meant we shouldn't be giving out free money to the parents.

Okay, I partly agree. I'm going to say that if they've been on government assistance for more than a year, that they shouldn't be able to pop out another kid.WIC does have regulations...you can only buy eggs, cheese, peanut butter, etc. with it. Then you have food stamps where people can buy all the junk food they want.![]()
I'm going to sound bad for saying this but if you are on food stamps and other government assistance and pop out another kid you shouldn't be able to keep the kid. It should be given up for adoption to a couple who has been waiting for a child to love and can FINANCIALLY support it without the assistance of Uncle Sam. It pisses me off to no end, especially when I know a ton of people who milk the system for all it's worth.![]()
Lol, you mean she would've had 8 kids taken away. Since she already had 6 and all.I dont think thats even possible.

"Octomom" actually has 14 kids. She had six before she had 7 embryos implanted (one split and thus, 8 babies).

But especially during these times, people are having it rough. Just because the parents might've gotten laid off doesn't mean they should have their baby taken away. They've just fallen into hard times and will likely get their feet back on the ground.
Now, bringing a kid into this world when you CLEARLY know that you have no way to support it, that's a different story. That's selfish.

Not sure.i meant people who have multiples in general, i know she has 14 kids.
