You'll never find Yahoo.com criticizing homosexuals, but "breeders" ~ there's this crowd who seem to believe their most vital interests are served through regulating the reproductive habits and/or capacity of others.

Very true. But, ironically, we can trace the modern-day acceptance of homosexuality and "same-sex marriage" to heterosexual couples using surrogates or implanted seed from strangers. Of course, I don't know the whole story in this woman's case. Who knows how reliable the sources for this article are?

If the mother had octuplets naturally, I'd give her a partial pass -- she just got extremely unlucky with another pregnancy (although after six kids she should have used some reliable method of birth control). And as long as those fourteen kids did not become a burden on taxpayers, I'd say that it was her problem and nobody else's business.

But the reality is likely to be far different. The odds of having octuplets without fertility drugs are virtually zero. No reputable doctor or clinic would administer fertility drugs to a woman who already had six kids, so she probably stole the drugs and self-medicated.

Indeed, every possible scenario involving fertility drugs points to this woman as being monstously irresponsible. And if she's that irresponsible about something as important as conceiving children, then it's not surprising if she has also been irresponsible about other life decisions and financial matters.

"Reports Cast Octuplets' Mother in Less-Flattering Light" is probably the understatement of 2009.
