They only profit because there is an audience . The producers of such shows would pull the plug if there the ratings were crap. I would never judge anyone about giving children a loving home but there are so many kids out there who need parents, it would be nice to see something about a couple who open their hearts and homes to those children. I don’t know, to each their own.

The Duggers have chosen to have their children…are in a committed relationship…and support their children without government assistance. If they make money from a tv show, so be it. They show a loving lifestyle at home and it is a plesure to watch them.

As a mother of two, born two years apart, I feel for anyone who is raising many (3 or more, in my opinion) children.  My motto was two hands, two kids.However, we felt that we could support two and give them a decent life.  I am not against multiple births.  I certainly understand the desire for a child, and that it would be difficult for a woman who has (finally) become pregnant to make the decision to selectively abort.  What I do not understand is what this woman, Nadya Suleiman, is about.  It seems that she is now looking for a big paycheck.  Her own mother says she is obsessed with children.  How can anyone even think (assuming that she does think, which is debatable at this point) that there would be enough time to give these children to raise them properly?  Kids need you one on one at times and her kids will have too many problems to even think about.  There will be developmental problems that simply come with the territory of multiple births, any possible amount of physical disabilities that may pop up, and then what about the six kids she already has?  They will be pushed aside, not only by the births, but by the media, and the fact that Mom is racing off to visit with Oprah and Dianne Sawyer with the babies.  If Nadya Sulieman makes enough to keep her off the welfare rolls she will mess up her kids.  If she stays on the welfare rolls she will mess up her kids, and you and I will pay to raise them.  I like kids.  I do not love all kids.  I teach them and I really am in their corner, but I do not want to pay for other people’s kids, be they the mistake of two 15 year olds or the non thinking Ms Suleiman.  I have raised mine and am not interested in paying for the raising of any more unless my own were to get to it and give me a couple of grandchildren.  I’d love to spend my money there. I also do believe that her doctor should have his license revoked. He is another non thinker.

I find this a weird question. I checked “yes of course” because this is america. it’s a free country. what.. are we going to regulate EVERYTHING? getting a book deal or a tv show is child abuse now? sure I don’t want to have 14 kids. i think it’s absolutely nuts. but it takes all types to make the world go round. Now.. if she can’t feed, dress, get medical care for her children. if she is incapable of supervising them to the point that they are in harms way. ya… she needs to be intervened on. but the last I looked it was not illegal to have as many kids as you choose in the U.S.

I personally think that having children is a joy, but we should have no more than 2 … after that if you want more adopt. We need to set an example that we are aware that having more children impacts not just the family, but the world. The more we have the more we take from others. I know this message is not popular in America, but we need to set the example for the others. China had to limit their population to feed their people. This day is coming for us too.

Here’s what gets me about these “litter” births. I’ve heard more than one couple say they could NEVER consider selective reduction because GOD sent them these children. I beg to differ with them. SCIENCE sent them these children. GOD already spoke when they couldn’t conceive without science.
