Octuplet Mother Outrage

In January, Nadya Suleman,33, gave birth to octuplets in California. At first everyone seemed excited about the new babies and were curious to learn more about the very proud mother. Only after the media got ahold of the story did the details really come out. Everyone then got to see the true motives this woman had, which in the end, set off much outrage across the globe.
Nadya already had six other children, three of which were special needs children. She then got impregnated again with six more embryos which turned out to be eight. All of these pregnancies were the result of In Vitro Fertilization. Nadya is neither married or in a relationship with anyone.
Scrutiny over the new mother came after the world found out, through records that Nadya is single, unemployed, living at home with her parents, and receiving food stamps and child disability payments.
It's not that I am against In Vitro Fertilization for women who can't have children or chose to get pregnant without a man in their life, however this woman already had six children that she clearly could not afford and then she went and had eight more. It just seems too outrageous to me that a woman who is getting help from the government and taxpayers is able to do this.
She is in pursuit of a master's degree at California State University, where she has already obtained a degree in child care development, all of which has been free to her.
So, this tells me that because this woman is irresponsible and had so many children without having adequate income, all of her school is payed for because she is a single mother. This truly bothers me because it shows that if you are responsible and do not get pregnant before your finished with school, you are punished in a way and are forced into debt the second you graduate. If you are a single mother, you are off free and clear with a free education.
Now if this woman truly needed the extra help, "for her children" then why in the world has she admitted to having lip injections and manicures? I know I don't have the money for things like that (not that I would want to) but that's not the point. I don't have that type of extra money because I am paying for my own school.d
This woman just completely infuriates me to no end because it just shows how irresponsible she is. She has put her own feelings ahead of her children by having eight more. She is clearly in it for the extra benefits she is getting from the government. Not to mention, she is asking for at least $2 million for each interview. That is so disgusting to me. She is exploiting herself and her children just to gain a ton of money.
