The mother of the woman who used a fertility doctor to give birth to octuplets, despite already having six young children, called her daughter's actions "unconscionable" in an interview posted online Sunday.
I'm not sure my hypothesis of a race effect has been fully falsified, but the alternative hypotheses of edginess due to the economy and people thinking she is a nut bag are starting to feel stronger and have not yet been falsified.

I've always been annoyed at women giving birth to seven, eight kids at once. There are too many freakin' people in the world, who do they think they are? But my annoyances is limited.
Other people in the past seem to have been less annoyed, and instead of being miffed they reward these baby…

I see Janet has a post series going on family + academic career. (Part 1; Part 2). I've written a bit on my own experience at the old blog (and I do mean "a bit;" it's much more of a Cliff notes version of events than Janet's), so I'm re-posting it here for another view from the trenches, so to…
In a lot of infertility forums there is a lot of criticism of this whole affair going on. I think that if not technically unethical (the state medical board has yet to rule on that) it shows an astounding lack of judgement on the part of her doctor.
How about that old theory of yours about whitefolksz having more kids/ kids out of wedlock?
hehehe
Rev. Matt: "shows an astounding lack of judgement on the part of her doctor."
WTF?? Are you asking doctors to infringe on a womans rights??!! Women's "choice"?
Isn't that the equivalent of Dr. Joseph Mengele regulating race????
Women have the right to choose!! No matter how many liberals we have to cuckold, women will prevail in their right to populate the earth with undereducated, socially malformed douchebag humans!!
How about that old theory of yours about whitefolksz having more kids/ kids out of wedlock?
You tell me. I think she's white! Ish.
Of course not. Obviously the mother's bias against her is race-based.
Yeah, white-ish, AND trailertrash-ish. The new white is "black" anyways...
Yeah--I think she will become the new poster-childbearer for the new improved competitive birther: Americas "other" immigrants with money, and enough social de-regulation to fill the school buses with future wage slaves. She has the RIGHT!
But that theory will need some remodelling, because this woman is just a selfish pig, race and gender aside...
::zzzz...:: sleeping in until race labels disappear...
Personally, I'm fed up with these people having litters with the help of science. Why is fertility treatment considered successful when one of the side effects seems to be six to ten kids at once? Seems like an epic fail to me.
Race might have a little something to do with the lack of popularity for this person. But most likely, it's the unmarried mother, who cannot support herself, living with her parents, having six kids already, what is she freaking nuts?, thing that has most people upset.
So, you're pissed about the competition?
Azkyroth: "So, you're pissed about the competition?" Theres azkyroth, talking about pee again...
No actually Az, one of you is enough douche dribble and dregs to keep the rest of reminded of our mission.
