But before I rant more - here is a pretty rose I got when I drove into our parking ramp at work today!!!
Pretty, isn't it?
As far as Octomom goes - and I do not deny any woman the right to her own reproductive decisions - but, you have to be able to AFFORD it. That is part of earning the right - earning the do-re-mi.
At least that is how it was for me and all my girlfriends - or men I know who also face these challenges with their wives.
- It was an expensive THREE YEARS for me to get pregnant with Boo Boo La La & I did not even get to IVF.
- A friend MAXED OUT FOR LIFE on her husband's insurance after ONE TREATMENT, that was not even as expensive as IVF. They had to wait until he changed jobs and got better insurance to try again.
- Another friend TRIED and TRIED and TRIED, IVF - everything. And she could not get pregnant. She gave up and now in her early fifties is 'content' with the fact her step-child loves her dearly.
Friends with miscarriages, concerns about genetics, EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN.
This woman and her so-called doctor are rubbing these children in the faces and up the noses of all of the rest of us. It is a sick, sick, sick side to reproductive challenges.
She could have had ONE, just one and been grateful because she required such extreeme measures to give birth.
with no husband, no insurance, no place to live on her own...
what gives her the RIGHT to more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more?
Bright side for me is that maybe Angelina Jolie will think twice before she has any more.
