Leave her alone...it is none of your business

It's a sickening place we are in.

There is a woman out west who recently gave birth to octuplets. These 8 little ones are added to the 6 she already has.

Wow!

Miracle?

Rejoicing?

Congratulations?

No.

The press has lathered itself up condemning this mother and the medical staff who assisted her because THEY don't approve of the CHOICE she has made. (I am quite sure if she had made the choice to kill them everyone would be happy). She decided quite consciously to have this large number of children and we are left with the questioning of the press as to (1) should anyone have this many children? (2)how can she afford them? (she lives with her parents) and (3) is it right that our society should let anyone have this many kids?

WHAT?!

This isn't China I don't think...or maybe since we get so much else made in China we are now importing our population control policy.

Does everyone else see what is happening here?

We are becoming a herd society, slowly but surely, where the good of the whole supersedes the good of the individual. Has anyone ever before tried to contorl the population by saying who can have a baby, how many, and then, what sex, and then, what hair and eye color....?

It really is a product of our society's addiction to blaming the government for everything and to the converse, expecting the government to solve all ills. The number one argument against the mom of 14 is that she is likely to need assistance, and since she is, the government ought to be able to tell her how many children she can have. Who would you pick to make the choices for her?

Congress? (here...take a trillion and see me in the morning)

If we lived in a society where each of us takes it upon ourselves to share our blessings to take care of those who need help rather than ask the President to do it, the argument would be out.

Where are we going when we call it immoral to have children and applaud killing them by sticking a probe in their head as they emerge from their mother or we dissect them in the womb to make sure they aren't born at all?

Equal justice for all.
