Crazy Lady with Eight Babies

It must be said: Nadya Suleman is nuts.

Further nuts is Jeff Jacoby of the Boston Globe, likening this irresponsible incident to other “outlandish” things that have been “steadily normalized,” like gay marriage. Sit and spin, Jeff.

We’re not talking about a political issue, Jeff. It’s not the same as refusing to inseminate a lesbian on the grounds that it is against your (ignorant) belief system, Jeff. This isn’t about human rights, it’s about human health and well being. Jeff. Maybe, as you assert, courts would have ruled in favor of Crazy Bird eventually, anyway. But those doctors certainly should have done whatever they could to prevent this unsafe procedure.

People who are mentally ill are restricted from participating in many pockets of society. I wonder why motherhood isn’t one of them. It’s the life of a child that’s at stake. Or, in this case, the lives of 14 children.
