Back in January a Californian woman gave birth to 8 babies. She already had 6 children.

Not surprisingly there was quite a reaction to this, with the doctor being investigated and the woman’s grandparents calling her “absolutely irresponsible” and her behaviour “unconscionable“.

The photo here, from the Irish Times, shows a local resident protesting outside the woman’s home. Nice sentiment but poor delivery.

Even now, 8 months later, stories of Octomom provoke a strong reaction.
