I don't understand what has happened in the world. I have felt the need to be a mother for at least the last several years, and have taken this entire process extremely seriously, considering all angles before trying to get pregnant. I have seen the same with my friends.
And yet, the news reflects a very different and altogether terrifying reality.
Arabs send their children to become martyrs, with joy. Why bring children into the world, other than to educate them religiously to blow themselves up and take some Jews with them?
A woman, who already has six children and at the moment, no husband, somehow gets classified as "infertile," and her negligent doctor implants eight fertilized eggs, all of which develop into babies, the largest of the group weighing about three pounds. Who will support this woman and her football team financially and emotionally, and what the hell was her doctor thinking? (In Israel, IVF procedures dictate returning no more than two fertilized eggs, for the sake of the children and the mother's body.)
This morning, while dropping my car off at the garage for its annual check-up, I saw a story on television, reported from England, about a 12 year old boy and a 15 year old girl who just gave birth to their child. I would not necessarily trust a 12 year old to babysit a newborn, never mind have one of his own. Where were the parents in this story?!
Children are a gift, and it is truly a sad statement on our society when fertility is treated like an irresponsible shopping spree.
