I have no problem helping the less fortunate.... People who need the aid should use it. HOWEVER, if someone who normally wouldn't need the aid suddenly gets pregnant with, say, QUADS, well, the HUGE expense involved with birthing/raising these children would most definately push someone towards State Aid... taking money away from people who didn't ASK for this problem. You can argue for all you want. Go ahead. STILL doesn't change the fact that the act is illegal, immoral, and just plain WRONG. and it really angers me that y'all keep usint the " I'm a bitter infertile" card. PUH-LEASE. I would feel this strongly even if it wasn't ME that was infertile. I am not bitter about how things turned out for me, not at all! If I hadn't had to do all the extra effort, I wouldn't have the beautiful little girl I have now.... it would have been some other child. I just have a few extra hoops to jump through if I want to build a family. No big deal, really. The issue I have is when people are so short sighted that they are willing to do something illegal and potentially harmful just to achieve that goal. I've read through many of these posts.. a lot of ladies don't have insurance, that's why they don't go through their doctor. If you can't afford insurance, HOW are you going to afford to raise these children in the manner that they are due?? Many more of you are just children yourselves, and think twins or multiples would be "fun". There are even some women who are doing this because their husbands don't want more then one child, so they are taking unprescribed fert. meds behind the hubbies back so that they get more then one child in the house. LOOK WHAT YOU ARE SUPPORTING!!! A person who could afford multiples could also afford to find a specialist willing to prescribe them the meds to help them on their way. Period.
