And it's so convenient that they forgot to leave it in god's hands while getting the fertility treatment.
This to me is the central issue here. The religious freaks (as opposed to the people who are rational who happen to have a religion) like to draw convenient lines in the sand about everything--it's only "God's will" when that coincides with what they want. It's selfish, disgustingly so when you consider the burden they place on medical professionals (who they harass to get pregnant and then ignore) and medical resources. Call me evil, I can take it, but I'd rather the precious (and expensive) medical resources used to keep these kids alive for as long as they have been be directed to those special needs cases that weren't foretold. I think when you play bloody havoc with biology and ignore doctors only to turn around and demand that those things now do as you say, I say you should fuck off and lie in that bed you made.
