73. Money.
So two people want to become a family. Dad works and has a good job w/benefits or if Mom has a good job w/benefits (or they're perfectly cable of financially supporting a family) and the go the AI multi-route, then who are any of us to be in their business? They're not asking any of us for anything except peace and quiet. We should definitely stay out of their womb!

BUT, what if you have an Octamom, who is not in a relationship, goes AI, does not have the means to pay for or support the offspring she births and the taxpayers in some state have to pick up the tab? Can a line be drawn now? Shouldn't a line have be drawn?

Pro-choice is as it should be a choice but taxpayers should also have the right to have a choice. Right now, we don't. If Octamom can not support herself or her kids, we pay whether we like it or not - those babies deserve to be cared for.

Shouldn't we regulate or limit SOMETHING in an Octamom scenario?


Disclaimer: I don't know the entire back story of Octamom and am just making up a scenario.
