I derived this post from an very informal editorial I had to write in my school's newspaper. obviously I changed around some of the language, but for the most part its the same.
so I've been trying to figure out why everybody is bent out of shape over this random ass lady from whittier who decided to have 8 babies.. and I still dont get it. what about her situation makes people so angry?yes, she had 8 babies at once. no, she is not married. why is it our concern? is she really "selfish" because her financial situation isn't the best, or because she already has 6 children at home? this lady is 100% legally entitled to be a mother of 14, 25, even 50 children: no law prohibits her from having 14 children. although most people think she's foolish for what she did, her affairs are--in all honesty--none of our concern. answer this question: how is nadya suleman different from the countless doo doo mamas who get pregnant on welfare without knowing who the father is? im pretty sure people aren't sending death treats every time this happens in the black community, let alone the white community -- it happens way more than a lot of people think. at the end of the day, I don't really care about nadya suleman, or any of her 14 kids. I do, however, respect her decisions, and I think that people should stay out of her business.. she has a right to do whatever she wants. guaranteed child services will be keeping a much closer eye on her given her situation, so dont worry about them!
please leave comments.. I wanna know what you think.
