I couldn't have NOT commented about this

Mr. M and I were watching 20/2* last night and the topic was orgasmic childbirth, home birthing and women who carry these newborns dolls which look like real babies (they carry them in strollers). I found the doll story very disturbing. Infertility is a disease and it could bring a woman who experiences it into a very dark and lonely place. I thought that AB* could perhaps run a special on how the government can make infertility treatments more affordable for women. Some women are not as fortunate to have insurance which covers their treatment and IVF or even testing becomes impossible for them. They could also promote adoption or make that more affordable for childless or anyone wanting to adopt a baby. How about running a special on letting gay couples adopt children? I feel that this show was an insult to anyone dealing with infertility! It was disgusting and these women look like crazy people.

Linda, 49, who asked that her last name be kept private, is one of the few women willing to speak about her relationship with reborns. She says she enjoys taking them out and about with her and comforts them like actual infants.


It sickens me that people are making money at the expense of women who experience the pain of infertility.

There is something about this that seems like you're carrying around a corpse. I swear.
