This story in The New York Times Magazine went ridiculously viral last week because… ooft. ‘She Was Ready To Have Her 15th Child, Then Came The Felony Charges’ was brilliantly written by David Gauvey Herbert, and tells the story of MaryBeth Lewis; a woman who has been having babies via IVF since her mid-forties and doesn’t want to stop - no matter what she has to do to make it happen. 

This episode started out as a segment in Breakin’ Nooz, then it turned into a JTG MINI, then it turned into a Medium, then it pretty much turned into a regular-length episode BECAUSE THIS STORY IS NUTS. Rosie gives Just The Gist of one of the most gripping and ridiculously good articles she’s read in a long time. Read it right here in The New York Times Magazine.
