Comments on: Crazy Woman Of The Day http://www.black-and-right.com/2009/01/30/crazy-woman-of-the-day/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:23:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: lauraleigh http://www.black-and-right.com/2009/01/30/crazy-woman-of-the-day/comment-page-1/#comment-24345 lauraleigh Sun, 01 Feb 2009 14:18:56 +0000 http://www.black-and-right.com/?p=15406#comment-24345 So Fox News is reporting that the mother is divorced, that she's had all her kids via in vitro, and that she went through this process because she didn't want the frozen embryos to be destroyed. So where is the real issue of this story? A woman obsessed with having kids? or the unanswered moral and ethical issues of men playing God (in vitro fertilization)? The judgment of the mother is certainly questionable. But there can be no question that the creation of multitudes of in vitro babies, only to destroy them later, is evil. I would suggest that motherhood, precious as it is, is not an inalienable right, that achieving pregnancy at any cost must inevitably lead, somewhere down the pike, to some sort of crisis like this. However, instead of challenging the ethical basis of in vitro fertilization, everyone is attacking the woman. I think we've got it backwards.

Either way, a very sad situation for all of them. I hope I’m wrong, but it crossed my mind that perhaps these children were conceived in order to be sold.

Are they all hers by birth? Any stepkids? There was some hot discussion about this at a local news outlet - someone said the husband is a civilian contracted in Iraq - I don't know, don't care. My paternal grandfather was one of 15, my maternal grandfather one of 13 - Nothing wrong with large families. My hat is off to this woman for refusing to go through "selective reduction" - a fancy name for an abortion. Also, I'd a heck lot rather my tax money going to help this family out than going to Planned Parenthood here or abroad to pay for abortions - through the revocation of the Mexico City rule or the UN Family Planning program.

Their reporter Eric Leonard has been digging into it and the current, unsubstantiated report is she obtained the fertility treatments in Mexico and returned to California, presenting herself at Kaiser Hospital for delivery. They're trying to find out if her care has all been done with public assistance. File this under your tax dollars at work. (FYI, it's estimated the State of California is due to receive the most money from the economic stimulus package currently in the Senate -- some 64 Billion dollars) The “John and Ken” radio show on KFI Am 640 in Los Angles has been all over this story right from the start.

I'm sure if she is obsessed we will hear about it and I'm sure if she was brainwashed into it we will find out. If she was coerced however, said person should be made to foot the bill as they have violated her rights.

Don't fertility doctors have any ethical standards? And why is she obsessed with having so many children? Could she have been coerced or brainwashed by "someone"?

Don’t fertility doctors have any ethical standards?

And why is she obsessed with having so many children? Could she have been coerced or brainwashed by “someone”?
