How bad is the baby mama prob in America? Well, it’s not just that 40% of American kids are now born out of wedlock. It’s that now, a baby mama can have twins with two different fathers (no lie). And that their mother calls a TV station to brag about it. That’s the story of Baby Mama Mia Washington and her young twins, Justin and Jordan. Yup, this story is the video version of America defining deviancy down.
It’s called, “heteropaternal superfecundation.” What a fancy word for a result of such trashy behavior. When a woman ovulates multiple eggs and has sex with two different men in a short period of time, there’s a tiny chance two eggs could be fertilized by different male sex partners and end up being born at the same time.
Hmmm . . . since they’re definitely not identical twins, and they’re not fraternal twins, I guess we could call ’em babymamaternal twins.

Here’s a quick video explaining how this rare occurence happens, courtesy of Dr. Josh Bazell:

Speaking of baby mamas, on a related note, Wayne County (Detroit) Circuit Court Judge Wade McCree makes baby daddies who don’t pay child support watch “Maury.”
I’m not a fan of “creative sentences,” which is what this is. However, for me, watching that show would, indeed, be utter punishment. Still, I gotta know why Hizzoner McCree doesn’t make the women who had these kids–and had to have been participants in the sex that produced these illegitimate kids–also watch “Maury” and report back to him. On the other hand, to my mind, “Maury” is part of the problem, not the solution. Not in the least.
And, as we all know, some of these women are having these kids so that they can have a steady stream of money rolling in from these baby daddies. And the court is quite touch on these fathers, not tough at all on the mothers.

If you’re a deadbeat dad who agrees to start making child support payments to stay out of jail, you’ve got to meet one more requirement in Judge Wade McCree’s Detroit courtroom: Watch the Maury Povich show.
McCree, a criminal judge in Wayne County Circuit Court, has begun sentencing dads to watch the show at least monthly and discuss it with their probation officers.
The judge, who is to appear on the show Thursday, said he got the idea after watching a few episodes. One day in February, he shouted to a man with five kids from five women: “What the hell do you think this is, the Maury Povich show?”
A videographer was in the courtroom for a local TV show and asked permission to send the clip to Povich’s show, McCree said.
Soon, Povich had a crew filming in McCree’s courtroom.
“Some of these men in my court watch the show and see how ridiculous some of the deadbeats look, and then they realize it’s them,” McCree said.

Um, actually, the baby mamas on that show look ridiculous, too. The baby mamas are as much a part of the problem as the baby daddies.
