She's no worse than most people. At least she's not having a half dozen at once, like that crazy woman in California! Even worse if you have a 10+ kids, suddenly you're some sort of media hero. Everyone worships you it's all about the "joy of motherhood". How about this mom or this one who both just had her 18th child.

To some people talk of birth control is "immoral" or a "sin". It's "evil" to not want to bring life into the world (though nobody wants to talk about how to feed & care for them).

Most people say they're concerned for the environment, clean water, and global warming. Then they insist on eating meat at every meal.

In the US people say they like the environment, but many of them still "need" their SUVs which get under 20mpg.

go figure.
