Last week, the Internet had itself a rollicking time being horrified and disgusted by some douche, Nick Loeb we guess, taking to the pages of the New York Times to explain why he's suing for the right to take ex-fiancee Sofia Vergara's frozen babies out of their Petri dish, plant them in a stranger's belly, and make a happy home. Short version: but he waaaaaants them. Long version: What part of "but Nick Loeb wants them" don't you understand? (Loeb is a rich person, and is used to getting what the fuck he would like.)
His argument is that they already have the kids together - they're just on ice. Which makes sense from a "life begins at conception" point of view. Too bad that is not the POV espoused by SCOTUS. For that matter, that's not the POV espoused by Yahweh either - there are any number of verses from both Old and New Testaments to that effect.
More fundamentally for this case, anyone who gets involved w/ IVF knows that they generally create significantly more embryos than actually get implanted, and by default the rest are kept on ice until they are either implanted later, or they're allowed to expire. He had to have known that going in. In this case, Ms. Vergara is not saying she wants them to be discarded - she's saying she wants them to stay frozen.
TL;DR: This guy is both Wrong and A Idiot in multiple ways.
The fertilized eggs are half his DNA. If she wants to throw away her half and he wants to implant his half in a surrogate, so what? I think it's very sentimental. The baby that comes out of the surogate isn't Verga's anymore (even though it may resemble her) any more than a sperm donor can claim they are the father of any future offspring arising from their seed.
OMG, that headline was sooo sexy, it drew me in; I thought, "really, Sofia goes both ways? And wuz gonna have a baby with a chick? A--W--E--S--O--M--E!"
Then, like guppy, I haz a disappoint.
Thanks alot Trixie!Also too, angry bald men libel.
Oh, I see someone beat me to it; Wasn't there some movie years ago with Cliff Robertson called "Obsession" in which he falls in love with a previous lover's daughter who looks just like her (I only read the Mad Magazine version. Like The Daily Show and Wonkette, I can stomach things better when watching them or reading about them after it has been digested and filtered through snark.
I mean, I can't entirely blame her for not wanting to fuck that creep. Though making frozen babbys with him sans fucking hasn't worked out so well, either.
Wuzn't she a Rhodes Scholar and diin't George Willbot write something about Crazy Eyes One "L" being her au pair? Eet might 'splain why how the crazy took hold...
or "two cat souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year..." The visual I "envision" of two cats swimming around eating fish reminds me of when Homie ate all the potato chips in the space shuttle floating around to the tune of 2001 , A Space Odyssey.

Yeah, the headline could have used some work...
Bottle? Rookie!
There was a headline?
I'm not going to coddle my distaste for these yokes. You shirred all scramble out of here.
Careful, Megyn Kelly, not sure the Fox green room would make the most secure safe house in Gilead.
Megyn is a balm in Gilead. A ticking time balm.
Omelet'n you show yourself out the door with that one.

Amirite?

Round worm libel!

That's why I worry about the daughter embryos....

I missed that episode of Schoolhouse Rock. It must have been after butt science class.
