Nadya Suleman has launched a website for donations
The mother of the eight babies has now launched a website asking for donations of money and goods.

http://www.thenadyasulemanfamily.com/

According to The Huffington Post she owes $50,000 in student loans along with being on food stamps and disability and having three children who have various degrees of a disability. One child is autistic, and that is no small matter. I can not get my head around this. It is beyond my comprehension.

This woman created a family for reasons that have yet to be revealed.

25. well, the flip side is
shes getting so much publicity that social services sure cant ignore her situation. CPS, I would think, will be keeping a close eye on this one. and her donations? if shes getting disability and welfare of any kind they will consider the donations to be income.

35. I don't see how CPS can miss her. Those children can not help but be neglected.
I bet Sarah Palin is deeply resenting her now with all the publicity Nadya is getting.

13. THEY WON'T WORK!
This idiot doesn't screw. If all this happened because she was dicking around and got caught and ended up with eight kids, hell, I'd make a donation to her.

But this headcase doesn't screw. All the Trojans in the world wouldn't have stopped her.

I doubt she's ever even seen one.

20. She is already on welfare, food stamps and medicaid.
We are footing the bill for this obviously insane woman. I feel so sorry for those children. I would never give her a dime though. She is just irresponsible. I think I will follow your lead and give her a few comments too.

4. And she received 167K in disability and never paid her parents a cent of it
You know, I had about the same amount of student loans, and beggared myself for over a decade and a half to pay them off.

Shame on anyone who gives her a penny. This isn't charity, it's enabling and reinforcing negative behavior.

27.  I hope no one sends her money. She said she can make it on her own.
Let her prove it. She shouldn't get a cent of taxpayer money. She's conning everyone, including her own parents, and she's been doing it for years.

6. DU's latest obsession. This too shall pass, eventually.
With all of the things going on in this country, this should rank pretty low in importance but DU is evidently as obsessed with the story as the MSM which is always slammed here. Strange bedfellows.

51. And, yet, you couldn't resist this thread either
since you took the time to post.
I find this a perfectly valid topic of discussion. During this time of economic anxiety, we have a women with no money who has used the expensive alternative of in vitro fertlization to give herself 14 children. She has no job. She has been living on disability. Her story brings up concerns about the ethics of the medical profession, the rise of using notoriety and the media to cash in, (see Joe the Plumber), the cost to taxpayers to raise special needs children, and what being a parent really means.
All valid topics.
If these are of no interest to you, just move on.

54. I couldn't resist expressing my opinion that this is another DU obsession.
This is just a good opportunity for Republicans and DU members to hold hands and sing "Kumbya". Also I have never paid any attention to DUers who think they have the power to tell me or anyone else to move on.

the discussion is over your head. And, you're still here.

55. Will the "It's HER body" apologists be sending the biggest donations?
Sorry--had to ask.

Can we officially stop applying that (HER decision/body) response to every stupid mother on the planet? It really waters down its validity when its properly applied.

46. I don't believe a word she says about stopping these births
because all the rest of her statements are about how she loves babies, huge families, etc. Having three disabled children didn't stop her, living off her parents for years didn't stop her, being unemployed didn't stop her, etc.

18. Fairly primitive web site
Of course there are photos of the babies - who can resist babies?

But there are only two choice - make a donation or leave a comment.

I notice there's nothing showing the comments that have been left.

The absolute arrogance of people. Unbelievable.

37. I don't understand that woman
As I've stated before, I have a large family myself. But I'm not a single parent. My ex-husband, my current husband, and I all work together to support the children. We have the money and the time for all of the kids.

She seems to be in a fantasy world here. "Look at me! I had eight babies in one pregnancy, plus I have six other children! I'm special! Send me money or else the babies will suffer!"

At first, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was just her doctor who was careless, maybe the reports we heard weren't accurate, etc. Now, I'm just sad for her children, especially those little babies.

Who is going to rock them to sleep and snuggle with them? Who is going to hold them and talk to them while they are eating? Will the mom have time to play little games with them while getting them dressed or bathed? No woman alive can give eight newborns the love and attention that they need, and it doesn't sound like she has an army of nannies standing by to help.

This whole situation is just too sad. ;(

pissed me off. They make the 4lb. 13oz. preemie that I had look like a hulk. And she and the doctor knew that this would be the outcome of what they did, asses both.

She wants to be a celebrity. She wants to be famous for accomplishing absolutely NOTHING but popping out kids she can't afford. Taxpayers be damned.

I will not send her a dime. I have 2 kids of my own to support, and I work for a living. Get a job, Nadya. I feel sorry for your brood, but have no sympathy for you at all.

61. Anything She Can Do...
Edited on Fri Feb-13-09 10:40 AM by NotNadya
"A man has threatened to clone himself 14 times and raise his clones on welfare if the mother of octuplets, Nadya Suleman, realizes her dream of fame and fortune through poor family planning decisions.

"I feel like I'm paying for everybody's kids. Women do this sort of crap all the time and I think if a man did it, welfare would wind up being better regulated ", states Gerard "Big Red" White.

His argument's edge is dulled somewhat by the promise that he will rethink his decision to clone himself if provided with beer."
