'Octomom' spawns bills limiting embryo implants
ATLANTA — Lawmakers in two states, outraged by California's "Octomom," are seeking to limit the number of embryos that may be implanted by fertility clinics.
Lawmakers are not doctors working with patients' individual needs. They are not close enough to the 'problem' to devise a solution. See this post for more examples of this phenomenon.
No, instead, some petty tyrant got a stick up their ass and decided that the actions of one kooky broad requires that everyone else be punished for it. And we keep electing these bozos.
The legislative efforts concern Bernita Malloy, a federal prosecutor in Atlanta who said she would not have been able to have her 20-month-old daughter, Makenzie, under the proposed law. It took 25 eggs and three in-vitro cycles for her to conceive one child. "They are legislating based on a knee-jerk reaction," Malloy said. "What they don't get is every embryo doesn't make a baby. This bill is devastating."

You mean there might be a time where this is necessary????
Oh, you want to see what the overriding 'concern' is with this flaky bint and her clown car like vagina?
The legislation in Missouri and Georgia is intended to spare taxpayers from footing the bill for women having more children than they can afford … "It's unforgivable," said Ralph Hudgens, a state senator who is sponsoring the Georgia bill. "This woman already has six children. She's unemployed, and she's going and having 14 children on the backs of the taxpayers of the state of California."

See what happens when you socialize medicine? The choices you want to make with your body become the decisions of others. The "Keep Your Laws Off Of My Vulva" camp should scream holy murder on this one.
Of course, the true right wing religious groups are up in arms. I don't get these groups. They oppose in vitro. They oppose surrogates. They oppose actual sex if either partner enjoys it, even slightly. Hell, I'm 'unplugged' and I get the distinct feeling they oppose me 'going through the motions'. And they're right up there screaming to pass this legislation. Go figure.
