Suleman - Somebody's Hero

Nadia Suleman has been villified in the past few weeks for her choice to have fourteen children through in-vitro fertilization while unemployed, single, on food stamps, and living in her mother's soon-to-be-foreclosed home. I question whether or not she is a fair target; she seems to have some psychiatric issues that go well beyond a normal desire to have a family. What interests me more is the fact that she has not secured a large following of right-to-life advocates. This is a woman being attacked for her decision not to destroy fertilized embryos. Shouldn't she be received like a champion by politicians, by pastors, by right-wing fringe groups? Why is no one lining up to defend her? She is your queen, people! Stand up and defend your own dogma. Nadia Suleman is your poster child.
