Octomom: Nadya Suleman: Do Women really have the right to CHOOSE?

Nadya Suleman or octomom as some may call her, has stirred controversy because she is the mother of the longest living octuplets in history.

But why all the media attention? This is why... she is a single mother who already had 6 kids. So many say that she should not have wanted more children. There is even a psych. doctor who has filed a complaint with CPS for reasons that do not warrant a complaint.

So the question is not rather Ms. Suleman SHOULD have wanted more children. The question that should be answered is this one...Do women REALLY have a right to choose?

I mean,she wanted one more child and all 8 ended up surviving! Now she has been criticized more than the doctor who implanted the babies in her womb.

This question on choosing goes out to the women because men should not have a say so in what a woman does with her uterus.

Would this be a story if she chose to abort some of the babies? Would this be a big story if she had had 8 abortions? Are there limits on abortions? Medical pays for abortions, yet we don't see this type of back lash on women who choose this option.

The Duggers have been given criticism and they are married and all of their children were conceived naturally. Jon and Kate plus 8 are the parents of multiples conceived through invitro and have also been criticized. In fact Kate came on Dr. Phil and stated that they wanted one more and ended up having six because she chose not to abort.

So do we need to outlaw invitro? Maybe. Put limits on it? Of course. Make the woman abort some of the babies if there are more than 2? That's not our place, it's not our uterus.

Then there's the question of the 'tax payers' money and welfare. Well according to the welfare department, a person is not eligible for aid for additional children if they have been on assistance for 10 or more months. They are only eligible for food stamps. Food stamps are funded by the Department of Agriculture. Wow, she gets $490 in food stamps. Less than what GM, Chrysler and all the banks got that were supposed to help homeowners in foreclosure.

Another thing, to claim that a mother can not love all of her children is not accurate and how can anyone else put their definition on someones love for their children? How can someone state how much love a mother can have for her children? How could someone have the audacity to state that a mother can only love a certain number of children?

For example the stay at home mom and working mom thing has been in debate for years. Some stay at home moms say that moms who work don't pay enough attention to their children, put their careers before their children and are wrong for putting their children in daycare instead of taking care of the children themselves. They say that it is rewarding enough to be with their children and don't need a paycheck to validate them as a woman.

Working moms claim that stay at home moms don't understand what it's like to work and that there is nothing wrong with putting their children in daycare.

Does it mean a stay at home mom doesn't love her children because she may not have an income. Does this mean that the mom who works outside of the home does not love her child because their children are in daycare. NO! It does not!

So, is it any of our business. NO! A big fat NO, NO, NO! It's not.

And anyone who advocates for this woman's children to be taken away and who claims that it is fine that she and her children are receiving death threats are just plain wrong. Just because we don't agree with what a person does, does not give us a right to leave death threats, obscene messages or spread untruths and hate about that person.

What kind of society have we become when our media excuses and condones death threats on women and children?

Then remember, what goes around comes around and it could happen to you or someone you love.

We need to just leave Nadya Suleman alone and let her uterus be her business.
