My uterus hurts just thinking about it.

I don't care if you can afford to support them, I still think it's irresponsible. You want 16 kids and can actually take care of them? Adopt. There are tons of kids out there who need a good home. I definitely agree with the idea of not reproducing more than yourselves. If I have kids, and if I end up wanting more than 2 (and let's be honest, I wouldn't), I will adopt. I don't want government telling me what to do with my uterus, but I wish our society had better inclinations (better in my estimation).

And if I adopt them, I can raise them to be intelligent participants in society - I don't have to balance the scales with just my blood.

The snark factor you hear is the disgust intelligent women have for this situation - our opinion is, she's being irresponsible and doesn't deserve special treatment for being a "brood sow". It's not like we're short on population here, people. Gifts are nice for everyone, I'd like free stuff too - but the reason she's getting the free stuff is for helping continue the world's population problem. Wow, that's... great...
