And what it's like having 11 premature babies. I thought it was nothing more than fiction...Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315268653485894157.post-87376902529220917762009-01-31T18:24:00.000+00:002009-01-31T18:24:00.000+00:00Wow!

It makes me so mad to see so much judgment made on this woman and her doctors. It is called reproductive freedom people! One woman may choose to have 14 kids and another woman none. GEEZ if people cared this much about the war in <BR/>iraq or educating our children maybe our world would be so different.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315268653485894157.post-73580829566919584352009-01-31T01:02:00.000+00:002009-01-31T01:02:00.000+00:00dont quite understand why everyone seems to be jum...dont quite understand why everyone seems to be jumping on the mother and not even mentioning the father - surely it was a joint decision to undergo fertility treatments... and why is it selfish to want more children? And why must the assumption be (@Stephanie) that they 'cant support' said children?
