15 abortions later...

I'm pro-choice towards abortion. Always have, always will be.

But apparently so is Irene Vilar, who went through 15 abortions in 17 years due to what she considers "an addiction," rebellion against her husband, and need in order to keep her marriage together since her husband doesn't want kids. Now of course I don't condone that type of rationale--most pro-choicers believe the termination of a pregnancy should be the choice of a woman, or couple, to decide the best decision from an onslaught of reasons. But "addiction" or "revenge"?

I haven't heard those before.


Then I remembered the Duggars--the family with 19 children. They always seem so happy. And no one has a problem with them since they somehow manage to survive without any help from the government. They've got their own little tribe, built their own abode, the kids are home-schooled (brain-washed?), and make their own piƱatas on their birthday.

Most assume they're catholic which is a religion that bans birth control. But the Duggar's site says Michele, the mother, was on it for a while. However, she somehow got pregnant and miscarried, then blamed the birth control. Their conclusive fear is what led to their choice of "letting God choose" how many children they have.

So on that note, who seems crazier: The abortion-lover or the kid-addict?
