Sound of Silence

So there is a woman of a questionable state of mind who has intentionally given birth to 8 babies. At first the media was in a frenzy. So excited about this news. Then they found out that this woman doesn't have a husband or the financial means to care for these babies.

People are questioning the ethics of the doctors. People are questioning her motives. She may appear on Oprah or other major networks for a fee. 

What I want to know is - Where are all the "women activist groups" to support her decision. If it was a woman who wanted to have 8 abortions and the media was criticizing her - there would be lines of women outside the hospital with signs of support. There would be women on the news talking about her rights to make decisions about her body. Because they think it is all about the woman - not the future of the babies. SO WHERE ARE THEY?

If you know me - you know where I stand on abortion. And I think this case makes my position even stronger. It IS all about the babies - Not about selfish women. The silence speaks volumes.
