I'm in the McJudgey Judgeson corner on this one too. Common sense and personal responsibility are not always bad things.
Not to pick on Perkins in particular because this seems to be a common sentiment... but this is pretty much what many many many people have to say about gay couples having children, single parent adoptions, etc. I don't get to say "how people build their own families is their own business" unless I mean it all the time.
And, again, she in all likelyhood was not TRYING to have octuplets, not TRYING to have 14 children under seven.
I can't e-file my taxes until the state of Illinois sends me a 1099-G.
ita, I won't tell you the results, but it ended up being the longest match in Australian Open history.
The manager in the next department over sits two aisles from me, yet I can hear her better than I can the person in the next cubicle. Her volume knob is stuck on "10" today, and it'd driving me crazy!! She keeps on shouting questions to her minions and they shout back at her, or she'll be on the phone and I can hear every other word very clearly. Again, she's more than forty feet from me, and there are multiple cubicle walls in between us.
Grrrrr.

I think there is a huge difference between expanding the traditional definition of family and this situation, and equating the two really does a disservice to the first one .

I do see your point, but again, I think there is a very real difference here.

Man, Nadal can certainly work. My recording will probably run out before the second set is complete--do I spoil myself, or wait and see if ESPN2 re-airs it?

So there's no way someone can build a family that's irresponsible? No way at all? That seems unlikely.

In these circumstances (or rather these circumstances as reported; as Kat points out, we may not be getting the full story), yes.
Because someone tried to have a seventh child?
But we don't know that that's what happened. We may never.
I'm pretty judgey about birthing anything more than 2 kids in the last decade. Also on anyone continuing to have more kids by any means if they need government assistance to get by.
