No Common Sense
There continues to be a lot of controversy over a California woman’s decision to have more children when she already had 6, all under the age of 7. Now, with a total of 14 fatherless children, unemployed and living with her parents, this woman has hired a firm to represent her interest in any financial offers that may come her way for the rights to her story.
With each passing day, there are a few more tidbits of information that trickle out regarding this woman. Last year, she filed for bankruptcy. Her own mother has stated that her daughter is obsessed with having children. The woman is college educated and apparently furthering her studies at the Masters level in, listen to this, counseling! She needs to be “in” counseling.
Over the coming days as more information becomes available, perhaps the public will hear directly from this woman. The public also needs to hear from those medical people as to why this woman was not screened out of the fertility program. There seems to be a general consensus among the population that anyone with 6 children, all below the age of 7, should not qualify for participation in a fertility program. Even if she did qualify strictly from a medical point of view, her financial inability to provide the needed long-term care for more children should have disqualified her. If those types of checks and balances are not part of the screening process, then the process needs to change to include that what many people don’t have and that is common sense. db
