Fair 'nuff, I didn't intend for it to be a direct comparison... just wanted to say that I know people who have survived giving birth to multiples, and that it's not always a health issue. If she was poor, had little access to health care, etc... then I might understand.
I think we can say from the article that the woman's concern was not primarily her health.. it was her Manhattan lifestyle. If they had made a greater case in the article for her health and less about her material selfishness, then I would be more sympathetic.
