I like how some of the comments in the article are about anchor babies. The baby was born in Concourse D, which is domestic flights only (int'l flights are in E). There are also very few international flights to BWI, with the exception of military transport flights. The only int'l flight that came in around that time was from Toronto.

some.old.lady.: Okay, who has suggestions for the name of this lovely little boy?

John?

Subby, why do you want to give the arilines ideas on new money making schemes?

Wow, almost didn't get the anchor with that baby.

/just kidding
//no clue about point of origin of the flight.

serial_crusher: Let's get all outraged at her for flying while pregnant like we did with Sarah Palin.

I'm not going to vote for either of them.

Clarence Oveur _________ (kid's legal last name)

I don't see why there aren't extra fees required of pregnant women. Airlines require obese passengers to buy two seats, so why should a pregnant woman get special treatment? More weight equals more fuel, yet that doesn't somehow equal more payment? Pregnant women require more trips to the bathroom, again, more resource abuse that limits availability to other passengers. And there is always the risk that she goes into labor on the plane. Why shouldn't she pay more for potentially holding the plane hostage so her uterus can take a dump?

Demand honest pricing!

I too, love that fact that all the articles comments were about her trying to get an anchor baby. Lovely assumption.

To be fair, it only said the restroom was in concourse D. She might have crawled her way over from E, after getting off the Toronto flight.

//Dang Canadians always trying to get into the US any way they can.

And then the kid will get marked as a possible terrorist by the TSA for needing a one-way ticket home.

kingoomieiii: serial_crusher: Let's get all outraged at her for flying while pregnant like we did with Sarah Palin.

She's dumb as hell.
However, she isn't asking us to hand over the keys to America's nuclear arsenal to her. So I don't give a shiat.

That's the problem with trolling. You just know you are going to snag a few of the shiatty fish.

Spirit Airlines announces their carry-on luggage fees will, from now on, be assessed upon leaving the aircraft in order to account for situations like this.

DAMN some people are paranoid. I expected some comments to the effect of HURRRRR BAD MOTHER Y R U FLYING SO LATE IN UR PREGNANCY but instead everyone's all HURRRR ANCHOR BABIES. (Well, not really here on Fark, but TFA's comments and other sites.)

I know nobody who gets off on saying HURRRR ANCHOR BABIES will care, but for what it's worth, your children's citizenship has, in practice, fark all to do with your ability to live and work in the United States. If you get deported for any reason, your kid's American birth certificate is just going to be a pretty piece of paper decorating your wall back home. Sure, you could gamble that at some point in the next 18 years some amnesty program will pop into existence where having a citizen child gets you a few more points towards your green card, but in the meantime you've had to pay to raise a kid in the US, which is more difficult and more expensive as an illegal immigrant than it would be back home. For a tenth of the cost of a kid, you could get the kind of ninja immigration lawyer who can make sure that you're never at risk of deportation.

Oh, but wait--I forgot. People have their babies here so that they'll have the advantages of the kind of schools and health care and social services that poor American kids get. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Tapper Palin?

Oh well, I guess she won't be able to take advantage of the duty-free shop.

CygnusDarius: [Harry Potter Story]

Now, maybe you may not agree with the above sentiment, but still...

No, I totally agree. She had the best costume and should've been selected to open the box. I don't care about Harry Potter costume contests, but I do care about foolish injustice being thrown about by people in power. I hope she field a grievance with the chain's management. How in the world did we end up in a society where the unborn have more rights than taxpaying adults?

5/10. Pretty good troll.

Perhaps an enema is in order before a flight since they seem eager to charge extra for any extra shiat.

You reminded me of this rant, quoted from this website (new window, NSFW)

RANT TIME

Harry Potter book release: don't worry, no spoilers.

Showed up at seven, in full costume for a nine am release. Devoted no? I was one of the few to dress up, and I was the best-dressed. I'm not being vain, I honestly had the most detailed and accurate costume there.

We were told in line, that the best-dressed person in line gets to open the box and have the first Half-Blood Prince book. So, I'm a shoo-in, aren't I?

WRONG.

farking moo brings her bratty sprog in at 8:59am dressed in a generic Kmart cape with stars and glitter and farking gaudy BLAH. Twig for a wand.

OMG WITTLE PWESHUS SO CUTE OMG YOU CAN OPEN THE BOX AND HAVE THIS BOOK YOU CAN'T READ AND *fawning fawning, blatant breederism etc*

THE farkING KID WON'T EVEN REMEMBER THIS. THE BOX OPENING WAS MINE. MIIIIINE.

I wouldn't have minded if someone had said "Oh look Sass, you are best-dressed but would you mind if this land-mine amputee opened the box instead?" I would have said "Absolutely no problem. Go for it." But no. farkING CROTCHDROPPING GETS THE HONOUR. I'm furious. On principle of course, not out of any sense of entitlement. Well yes, entitlement also. But I WORKED FOR IT, I DESERVED IT.

I made an effort. I spent money making an effort. I showed up early. I will remember and treasure this event for ever and eternity. And I'm passed over for an ugly little brat with a sparkly tie. Woo farking woo.

I didn't stab her in the eye with my wand. I WANTED to. I talked about doing so VERY farkING LOUDLY. I was going to eviscerate her mother with the cover of my brand-new copy.

I farking hate breeders and child-lovers. farkING GO TO HELL.

I'm so pissed about this, sorry. It's just that in ten years time, this kid won't remember what she was doing on July 16th 2005. In ten years time, I will be remembering how I was deprived of this nerdly honor by an opportunistic twat breeder and her shiatling. I'm hurt. All my life, nothing has gotten to me more than being deliberately ignored, or passed over. Honestly; that's the sort of thing that can make me cry in public. Or key your car. Or viciously murder you and your family in the heat of frustration and never-ending denial Congratulations breeders, you win.

Edited to add: To all of you who are calling me immature etc, I'd like to add that you make a very good point, but have you considered GO fark YOURSELF? If you're so anal-retentive, go back to the other community and go on with your breeder-humping. Also, to the person who submitted this to fandom_wank, I seriously (no sarcasm) thank you. I've always wanted to be there!

Now, maybe you may not agree with the above sentiment, but still...

That person has really scary issues.

kingoomieiii: She'll still have to cough up the "Intentionally avoiding a fee" fee, though, right?

And a "fee for being charged a fee" fee for each fee she's charged, followed by a "fee paying" fee for each fee she pays which, of course, incurs more fees.

"Woman gives birth in airport bathroom, Panda Express- is the father"

My half cooked link submission. Didn't submit because the story doesn't really seem like news. Oh well, I'll just put my head down and nap for awhile.

"None of you actually made this argument but I had this rant all set to go, so fark it..."

Flight attendant, Prissy said,

"I don't know nothin' 'bout birthing babies!"

Loaf's Tray: "None of you actually made this argument but I had this rant all set to go, so fark it..."

Eeeeeasy there, big fella. I said who I wasn't talking about (you) and who I was (TFA commenters, other Fark-likes). Are you mad because you're in the HURRR ANCHOR BABIES crowd, or just because you felt like getting mad?

At least she wasn't in a Bank of America
