Mother gives birth to twins with different dads

A Texas woman wasn't planning on two conceptions for the record books.

But that's what she got — along with two beautiful boys —when she gave birth to twins of different fathers nearly a year ago.

[Red in Blue PA]

“superfecundation”

I wonder if Bill O’Reilly will use that tonight.

BOR: “Don’t be a “superfecundator”

[wastedyears]

heteropaternal superfecundatio

???

[Blue Jays]

The woman is 20 years of age, soon to have 4 children from 3 different fathers. There was no mention of her ability to work and/or otherwise support the kids.
The woman clearly has a problem.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

The really disgusting part is that this is being hailed as something to be proud of! Some skanks will be trying for quadruplets next!

[jpsb]

Four out of wed lock children, at least 3 different fathers and likely 4 different fathers. The modern American woman, thanks alot NOW.

[dangerdoc]

Perfect, you get a higher average payment per child if each has a different daddy.

[PGR88]

American girls are EASY!

They celebrated Bristol Palin’s baby in a different way.

[Mind Freed]

Have two kids, by two different fathers... AT THE SAME TIME! That’s some serious multi-tasking...

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

It's in the article — I just wanted to try it out. If you were to approach the next woman you see pushing a stroller with twins and ask” is this a result of heteropaternal superfecundation?” — that would probably not end well for you.

[TribalPrincess2U]

heteropaternal superfecundation?

Is that the same as a threesome?

[Elsiejay]

NBC Today made a big celebratory deal of this sorry event, even reporting the statistical rarity of such an event, as though it was unrelated to human behavior, just driven by the randomness of natural events. I doubt it is so rare that some women “submit to” or wilfully entice two or more men within the span of one or two days.

[HungarianGypsy]

Sadly, the idea of children with different fathers has become so common that people seriously ask me if my children have different fathers only because I have five.

[visualops]

They aren’t twins if they have different fathers, they are half-siblings.
Sad for her kids she’s bragging on being fast and loose.

"were they both in the room? Or were neither? She will be rewarded by extra welfare for this. The govt. favors single mothers with children from different fathers.

She'll be going after BOTH fathers for child support. Bigger checks that way. Add that to welfare, and she'll be living large. And once she finds free day care spots, she'll be selling crack all day as well.

"She's expecting only her 4th child — hardly a liter. The story is about heteropaternal superfecundation, nothing more. (I hope I get a chance to drop that term into a conversation.) "

You've missed the point. Usually dogs have litters in which the pups can have different fathers, as the female dogs eggs become "ripe" at different times throughout her 22 day or so "heat".

Since she mates and conceives like a dog, I was wondering if she had multiple breasts like one.

[Boiler Plate]

Kinda gives new meaning to “WTF”.

[MBB1984]

It happens when a woman has more than one sexual partner in a short period of time. Come to think of it, it does only occur in female dogs.

[TFMcGuire]

sort of like the accusor of the Duke Lacrosse team? Where they found three types of DNA in the female perjeror’s body but none of them were from the boys accused?
