The fact that often it's the infants that pay for it doesn't appear to be a factor in their calculations, IMO.
Well once the infants are born they've got that whole Original Sin thing on 'em, so they might as well start paying for it.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
These clinics have the same rule! They can't even say the word! And yet, crazy people with signs out front.
Good times.
amyth, my goodness! You poor thing.

He's Hal, but I think it's inescapable that they'll inject comedy into a superhero movie, unless they want to be explicitly Dark Knight.
No, just no. I could see Kyle Rayner, but not Hal Jordan. They'll turn him into a cocky asshole test pilot who suddenly has all of this responsibility and it changes him and makes him a better person.
No.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'll agree to disagree, but you'd probably better not see the movie, just in case.

You know what's WAY better than hospital food? Leftover veggie chili turned into huevos rancheros. OH HAI SALT AND FAT AND FLAVOR HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU!
IOW, we just brought Aeryn home from the hospital. She has run through almost her entire to-do list already (1. nurse 2. sleep 3. poop), making her by far the most productive member of the household.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I forget if this has been posted already, but better safe than sorry....
IMPORTANT: World Now Ending In May, Not Waiting For 2012
The world will end on May 21, 2011, when Jesus returns.
There should be a reality TV show about these people. On May 21, they could have a camera crew just follow around the women who made the prophecy for the day, and then a few days after as well. That should be entertaining....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The woman at the end of the video, who says she's carrying her 12th child tells us how dangerous chemical contraception is. You could have a stroke.
Gosh, if only there were NON-chemical contraception! Some sort of barrier a man could put over his junk, perhaps made of latex...oh, why won't someone invent such a thing?!? Or perhaps a physical barrier a woman could put all up in her stuff (vajazzled or no) -- WHY, oh why, hasn't anyone thought of that?
...oh, wait. That woman's just an asshole.
