Story today in the NYT magazine about a couple who now have two children through the use of an egg donor - the Fairy Goddonor - two surrogates and multiple fertility treatments.

All I could think of was "selfish" and "adoption".

Mrs GoS and I have never wanted children so we don't get that impulse. We have adopted shelter cats and if we wanted a dog we would have gone the same way. Yes, I know that a puppy or a kitten is not a child, but still, why must one go to such extremes, spend so much money and go through the sturm und drang of finding donors, surrogates, etc, when adoption, even with the obstacles cited, is still an option?

Probably better that the author of the piece didn't get a puppy, because she would have bought from a breeder rather than getting a shelter dog.

For being pro choice you sure seem quite interested in running other people's lives.
I also can't help but ask how many kids you adopted since you think they are selfish for not doing so.

Enjoy your stay at DU it won't be long.

Now if this couple had aborted a baby, they would be heroes at DUmmyland.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

How does the DUmp feel about Nadya "Octomom" Sullemen.  I'm pretty sure her last name is spelled wrong, but you get the point.

Yeah, but she's on welfare and probably food stamps too.  In Nancy Pelosi's perfect world, she is helping the economy.

Even though she is helping to boost the economy, she made the wrong choice by having all those kids and not having a doctor suck their brains out and throw the remains in the trash.


I found this thread where they think she needs to pay back all the benefits from book deals etc.

Common sense.
Speaking the truth.
Using 'God' in the post.
Using 'Jesus' in the post.

Possibly another one.

So, "CHOICE" is only important when the choice is to have an abortion?

Maybe hey wanted to adopt but all the kids had been reserved for hollyweird stars and queers.

While I don't personally agree with their choice its none of my business and if they can provide for their children then the power to them.

Listen DUmbshit, would you still be thinking "selfish" if the writer inserted just that one little word in red into his article?

Yet it's perfectly ok by Liberal standards when a gay or lesbian couple does the same thing.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Not just any puppy, but a shelter rescue puppy only.  Another example of the "tolerant, loving" liberals forcing their opinions upon the world.   :whatever:  But somehow, in lib speak, conservatives are the judgmental ones?????   :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

It's great when the DUmp's trailer park genes surface in print. It's just so much better to have a mongrel (we used to call them "alley dogs") than a purebred dog. Of course, a purebred dog is okay with democrat DUmmies if it's a slow greyhound or a cowardly pit bull. Rejects, just like the DUmmies.

Speaking of trailer parks, it does seem like it would have been a whole lot simpler to just move into one and get the divorcee next door pregnant, the end result is about the same as egg-donor-plus-surrogate.
