Last night I was watching the interview with Nadya Suleman, the single mother who recently gave birth to eight babies through in vitro fertilization. There is a tremendous outrage surrounding this mother's decision to have these children. I have heard and read things like, "irresponsible" or "immoral." I find it funny from where these comments are coming. Those very people who have insisted over the past 36 years, since the passage of Roe v Wade, that a woman's reproductive right to do with her body is a choice between her and nobody else are the very ones crying "foul." Also, amazing is the outrage over the sensibilities of her doctor to do such a thing as place six embryo's (two of which became twins) inside her. This comes in the same state which last year the State Supreme Court ruled it is illegal for a doctor to refuse on religious grounds inseminating a lesbian.
Is this not hypocrisy at it's highest?
I have to admit, I am uncomfortable with the notion of 14 children in the home of a single mother who appears to have "issues." But this society which is so quick to point it's bony finger of unholy piety at the church and call out it's leaders for speaking about morality, has a big ol chunk of green stuff stuck in it's teeth. I find this incredibly disingenuous. So, stop smiling as you condescend to the rest of us!
So, while we toss and turn or flail and wail about what to do with this woman we should be thinking about the true innocents... the children.
