At any rate, illness is clouding my inner vision and impeding the creative process so I do not have any new material to post. I know what you're thinking, "Awesome way to start a writing blog Melanie! What am I supposed to read now?" Well non-existent readers, I will post something I've posted elsewhere to hold you over. If you are reading this there is a good chance you have already seen this and for that, I am sorry.
A letter-rant to Nadya Suleman (aka Octomom).
Dear Ms. Suleman,
I just want to let you know that your mission has been accomplished. I can not turn on a TV or surf an internet site for news and information without seeing your self-serving mug plastered all over the place. I also want to let you know that, like so many others, I have formed a strong opinion of what you are doing. Or rather, what you have done.
You say you have been obsessed with having kids since you were a teenager and wanted twelve in all. You now have fourteen and all the media attention your starved little heart desires. You know what the experts call this? Munchausen's syndrome by proxy. Your children are nothing but byproducts.
But let's get back to the initial conception of your recent octuplets. Your fertility doctor (who wishes to remain anonymous for good reason) implanted a whole butt-load of frozen embryos into your otherwise barren womb. Eight were conceived and you were offered selective termination to lower the number to a healthy and safe (for both mother and fetuses) one. You declined, citing religious reasons.
Now, by religious standards what you initially did was a big no-no. By religious standards you were playing God by taking your fertility into your own hands. Additionally, you have refused to marry, which from what I understand is also a big no-no. So, by religious standards, every sperm is sacred but every frozen embryo, unfortunately for you...is not. Long story short, by making you barren God was pretty much saying, "I DO NOT WANT YOU PROCREATING!" God is a pretty smart guy.
Now, I am NOT trying to tear down your religion. Despite my unwavering atheism and respect for all that is scientifically proven, I believe everyone has the right to their beliefs. What drives me nuts is when people take the beliefs and twist the rules to make it work for them. But I digress.
So, who pays for these little abominations when Pampers stops sending you free diapers? You're not employed and from what you say, not receiving social assistance. You replied on the Today Show I believe, "God will help me feed my babies." ...... Now that, is presumption. Does God help feed millions of starving (naturally conceived and birthed babies at that) around the world? Nope. Why would you think he is going to help you.
Do those kids a favour (include your six originals in this as well) give them to social services to be put up for adoption by parents who will take care of them. Don't keep them, starve them and ultimately raise them to be crazy selfish adults like yourself. Even your mother is disgusted...that's saying something.
Then after you do that...seek medical attention and get a fucking cat!
Best Regards,
Melanie Lowe
