2007-05-25 4:59 AM People need to stop having kids. For the past couple days the news has been reporting a 60 year old woman who just gave birth to twins. Her advice? "Don't get a dog, get a baby instead." Disgusting. Apparently this woman wanted to erase the stigma of having children later in life but the only thing she proved is that she's a selfish old hag who got bored with being a senior citizen so she decided to revamp her life with a couple of new trendy purses...I mean babies. If she wanted kids so badly she could have adopted some who desperately needed a home instead of going to a clinic in South Africa like she did because doctors in the states wouldn't treat her. Why can't people accept the fact that they are aging and deal with it? It's not as though you're supposed to roll around in a wheelchair once you turn 60, but give us a break. If we were meant to be having kids that late in life nature would have made it possible. But who needs nature when we can freeze eggs and access them whenever we feel like popping out a few babies? Medical technology should be reserved for those who need it, not those with nothing better to do. And yes, I am saying that not everyone should have kids, because not everyone should. Just because you're biologically able to doesn't mean you have the right to. There are way too many stupid people having kids, and there are way too many people who see warm and fuzzy airbrushed photos of celebrities with their babies and think that an infant will right all the wrongs in their vapid lives. Doesn't this woman realize that when her children are 18 and fresh out of high school, she'll be 78? Did she stop and think about the kind of ridicule her children might endure? I'm sure she didn't since America is all about having everything we want, when we want it, no questions asked. Botox and hair dye won't spare her from the old woman she is inside. In attempt to crusade for women's rights she just winds up looking like a wacky old cat lady gone horribly wrong.
