And, HippyChick, Peter has a point; what are you going to say if, a few years from now, this woman wants to have another 6,8,10,20 children, because she still feels lonely and empty? What if she decides that the kids aren’t making her happy after all, so she wants to change her sex and become a man—or take up sky diving—or move to another state? Or go back to school for another 10 years? How much are we supposed to invest in making this woman’s happiness? Don’t some other needy people, such as the old, the disabled, abused kids deserve to be happy too?
Yes, it’s her uterus. And it’s our money. And it’s our society that will be damaged if her neglected, unhappy, fatherless children grow up to wreak havoc in it. We won’t tell her what to do, if she doesn’t tell us what to do—i.e., support her unhealthy lifestyle, so she can find happiness (and, of course, it won’t make her happy anyway).
