Something that makes me slightly sick inside

So, I watch a LiveJournal group that has rather controversial posts - it's about debating abortions ( Read more... )

Thank God. I can't live knowing a hick couple gave birth to six babies who'll grow up to be retards like their parents. -___-

Then again. ._.;

it's the sad part. if any of them survive, here's to hoping they make better decisions than their parents. that's the one thing everyone's been saying :P

Pro choice really means choice, and I'm not really debating choice right now. I'm not saying that people should have forced the couple into aborting half of the fetuses or that people shouldn't be able to decide what to do for themselves ( ... )

I understand where they are coming from, but like I've said for the millionth time, death is still death.

Had they chosen to abort three, the remaining three would have a better chance of surviving. But no, they didn't, and three are dead and the remaining three..whether or not they survive is questionable.

I'm not criticizing people who dislike abortion in general, it's their choice, and as long as they don't interfere with my right to one and as long as they don't overstep their right to freedom of speech, it's okay ( ... )

Oh christ!

The assholes have incorporated and are taking "donations". Is it too much to hope that god decides to call them up to heaven too...preferably in a slow and painful way?

They also have a 2bd apartment, one car seat, and one stroller.

What's ridiculous is that it's not like they didn't have any money for the pricey Follistim. It's not like they are financially ruined, because you'd have to be nuts to go as far as to take Follistim to raise chances of a pregnancy when you can't afford it and won't be able to. And they brought this upon themselves. They decided to go this route, they decided to give birth to all 6, they decided to possibly fuck up their kids lives by giving birth to them so prematurely (oh, average gestation is 29 weeks and average weight is 2.5lbs? wow, newsflash, your babies hardly weigh a pound and they were born at the very edge of the limit of viability, where 1% survive...)...

They don't deserve a lot of the donations and news coverage they have gotten and might get. It's really depressing.

Also "They have one nurse attending to each baby 24 hours a day" .. wow that must be cheap...
Also they could afford this .. http://morrison6.com/just-for-fun/42#more-42 so to do nothing all day but grow the parassites and be visited by doctors etc.
Sigh.
I would use the word YGWYPF ... you get what you pay for, or you get the plants that you grow the seeds for ..

oh, and from their site, "31 sets of sextuplets have survived infancy world-wide" ... yea such big chances right. Of a few more than 31 sextuplets born worldwide..
