In vitro, the old-fashioned way

I’m not getting my knickers in a knot over this one.  Isn’t this just in vitro the old-fashioned way? She’s like OctoMom, but the dads are different and this was probably cheaper.

Then, surprise, surprise, Angelica decided to use her partner as an unwitting sperm donor. She says: ‘I thought he was nice-looking and would make a good dad, so I stopped taking the Pill. I just thought: “It’s my body and I want a baby, so I’ll have one.”

It’s her body. This is true. But the main point with all this pro-life stuff is that the children are distinctly not. Neither is the man. (I’m in the business of pointing out the obvious, yes.)

The important thing here is that we not be judgmental of her choices, however, and that we accept new family forms as being exactly the same as any other.

I proudly presented him with the positive pregnancy test.
He looked stunned and said: “How did that happen?”

Many grown men actually have no idea where babies come from anymore.  They have been told for so long now that they have nothing to do with it… they’re actually starting to believe it.
