Nadya Suleman, the mother of the octuplets born last month, gets $490 a month in food stamps, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday evening. Three of her first children also get federal supplemental security income because they are disabled, the Times reported.
During an interview with Ann Curry on the TODAY show, Suleman denied being on welfare.

Food stamps DO = welfare in terms of the fact that it all comes out of working peoples’ tax money.
It’s an individual’s right to make their own choices when it comes to things like having children. But when they have to take public assistance to care for kids they already have then, IMO, they give up their right to choose to have more, much less to do so by IVF…which is voluntary AND expensive!!…that is just the most insane, idiotic, irresponsible decision I can imagine.
Initial public assistance is fine (& in most cases absolutely necessary to insure the kids don’t suffer for their parents lack of responsibility & good judgement) until those same people make intentionally stupid *subsequent* decision that require even MORE assistance. IVF is a planned procedure, obviously, & she & her doctor were completely irresponsible in going ahead with that.
WTH??!!!
When someone does what this woman did, purposefully creating life thru IVF, in the situation she was already in (6 kids, no job, living with parents in a small home) & already receiving gov’t help (our help) then there is absolute validity in harsher screening before fertilization…duh.
& to sit there & say she DOESN’T get subsidies & then turn around and admit to collecting foods stamps, as if those aren’t included in the ‘subsidies’ category (not to mention ‘having’ to put school loans to personal use)…….all this WHILE OBVIOUSLY GETTING COSMETIC WORK DONE….. is inexcusable, shameful & unforgivably selfish. Period.
I got a lot of thumbs down for saying so the other day. The number of children you have should be a responsible choice based on your ability to support them. If someone wishes to use IVF to have two dozen kids but they can support their lifestyle choice and support them then its their personal right. It is morally irresponsible to bring children into the world you can’t support and expect others to pay for it though. I think part of the criteria for IVF should be are you financially able to provide for the children you have through it. Its not fair to someone else who has one, two, or three and not more because they want to be able to give a decent life to the ones they have to then be expected to pay through taxes to support someone else going ahead and having fourteen although they can’t afford it. I think she is hoping to make money off book deals, endorsements, and media attention. I won’t encourage such behavior by watching or shelling out to support it.
I thought her face looked odd. Lip jobs and nose jobs will do that, it’s a shame because she could be a lot prettier. As far as her getting government support I tend to be in favor of the government helping those who need it but in this case she should have her kids taken away and her doctors should lose their licenses.
