As E said, usually I think peoples' fertility is their own business, but when someone's fertility is actually obssessive behavior that increases my insurance and taxes, I think I get to have an opinion.<BR/><BR/>JessieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109864.post-55774157596062733212009-02-03T02:12:00.000+03:302009-02-03T02:12:00.000+03:30The mental ill health involved in that reproductio...The mental ill health involved in that reproduction is pretty amazing.

I'd say that is more than a petty outrage: on crampy days like this I imagine an army of para-menopausal women sucking down Midol and taking over the world.<BR/><BR/>But, what I'd really like to scream about is this: the two 2-hour meetings I was forced to sit through today, both very tasky, at least, but both stressful in very different ways, especially since I have Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109864.post-31957487198680742862009-01-31T05:41:00.000+03:302009-01-31T05:41:00.000+03:30Now you sound like someone's cranky nana.Me, I'm a...Now <I>you</I> sound like someone's cranky nana.<BR/><BR/>Me, I'm also tired of the weather.

Holy Christ! Her doctor should be defrocked. And while I don't make a habit of telling other people what to do with their ferility, I think there should be some sort of rule that after you have, say, five kids, you're not allowed access to the medical resources involved in fertility assitance. Five. That's fair, right?<BR/><BR/>Yeah, E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10023959769203103393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109864.post-14131481851803604782009-01-31T00:30:00.000+03:302009-01-31T00:30:00.000+03:30I have to chime in and agree with your statement a...I have to chime in and agree with your statement about the octuplet mom. Not hearing the whole story when the news had a clip about her I was like, hm, she had to have help. But then to read the article from LA Times (love Fark) found she had 6 already? What the frak is she doing on fertility treatments when she already has 6???<BR/><BR/>I had to stop reading and close the page.imnvertedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862448904139398553noreply@blogger.com
