Apropos of pretty much nothing (well, except "Does that seem right to you?"): I only this year realized that Jubal Early was a real person. Le sigh. I am large with reference-missing.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I am just going to name myself Judgey McJudgerPants and sit in the corner of JudgerVille.
Me, too. I'm just enraged that they let this woman and her docs do this! It's nuts! I realize this is probably a personal issue with me because my twin sister is having trouble conceiving and has put off IVF due to worries about her husband getting laid off.
If Clown Car Uterus Lady gets good press or free shit, I'm going to go ballistic.
In other, happy news:
Happy Birthday, Anne!
I'm glad the procedure went well, Barb. I had one of those once and it sucked.

Gud, I've e-filed for several years and I just keep the forms filed in case of an audit. You're really on the honor system. I love the process, though!

I guess I'm not judgy about this at all because we actually don't really have any information except what the mother said and I think it's too easy to not get it.
Also, I don't think she wanted eight more necessarily. What she didn't want to do is selectively reduce and, given one's religious stance, I can respect that as it is indeed her body. If I'm actually about the choice thing, then I have to understand when people make choices I wouldn't.
I'm sort of in awe that she lives at home with her parents in a small house in Whittier! And that there is no talk of Dad.
I guess it's too hard to really get my self into a lather because there is so much I don't know about the situation.

and for me, having 6 already is enough to send me over the edge.

Having three is more than enough to send me over the edge, so.
I'm pretty comfortable in my McJudgey chair on this one, actually.

Yes.
And selective reduction is a hard call I wouldn't wish on anybody.

Because books.
To be clear, I completely get that selective reduction is a choice that I wouldn't want to make, and that every woman should be able to deny, if that's her belief.
I'm questioning why she wanted more kids in the first place, when she's supported by her parents, and apparently bankrupt. Also questioning the doctor/clinic who transferred that many embryos, if that is actually the way it happened.
