Octo-Mom... Life? Choice?

I've been kicking this around ever since this shit came out...
I don't want to fixate on Abortion or In Vitro Fertilization... rather, the deeper feelings toward the whole Life/Choice thing. And i realize that neither side wants to claim octo-Mom as one of theirs.. they'd rather drop her like a radioactive bag of shit that's on fire and kick her into the other guy's court... so i really don't want to discuss how obviously fucked up she is because we have already all agreed on that one... but, hear me out...
...
Pro-Choice? Was it her Choice to become a Mother? Of course it was.
Pro-Life? Her perception is... life began the second the egg was fertilized... albeit, in a petrie dish... and not her pussy. Is this true or not?
...
So... what the fuck is it? A Choice to create life... and therefore, it is compulsory that a life must result from it? What if there are 150 more fertilized eggs? Are they all lives? If not... how is that different from a fertilized egg in a womb? Who gets to choose?

As to your questions ,, My thought is without being in a ueterus these are NOT life (they aren't growing are they?) They are the basis FOR life , but until they are in the womb , nothing more than cells.
Who chooses? Thats the $64,000 question isn't it? The Doctors do have , I believe , a responsibility to prevent what occured with octodingbat.
What kind of life are these kids and their siblings going to have with all this attention?
