If this isn’t the craziest, most heartbreaking story you’ll read today, you truly have a heart of stone. After struggling with infertility, a woman who is now pregnant with quadruplets—two boys and two girls—is considering the unthinkable. She wants to abort her baby boys.
Known only on Reddit as “PlaneGanache,” the mother shared her story, filed under “Am I The A**hole?” asking if she is in the wrong for wanting to keep her daughters but kill her sons.
The irony is truly bitter that after years of fertility and the monumental cost of in vitro, this mother fails to recognize the unspeakable blessing of not only one, but four little lives now taking up residence in her womb, and, just after going through such lengths to bring them into being, she is considering terminating some of those lives to tailor-make her family.
It’s beyond sick.
“Fast forward. We find out we’re pregnant and we are super happy, like over the moon ecstatic,” she continued. “We couldn’t wait for the 12 week mark to tell people, and started working on a nursery right away.”
At a follow-up ultrasound, she and her husband learned that they were expecting identical twin girls and two fraternal boys, each one perfectly formed and healthy.
“Four. That’s insane,” she declared.
Her post continued:

I don’t believe anonymous stories on the internet.
If this woman is anonymous, how do you know if this is true?
Sounds fake to me, like a lot of stories. The more outrageous, the more viewers they get to their website, the more money they make.
You’re right. But if true, 1)how will the girls feel when they find out their mother murdered there brothers? 2)If you do not want the boys, why not adoption? You’re giving birth anyway.
‘Father Abraham!’ he called out, ‘Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame!’
Liberal trial ballon.
Seriously, where does it stop?!
Wait until the girls find out that they once had two brothers, but their mother had them snuffed out.
More gas on the fire.
It’s called selective reduction and it’s quite real. There was a woman who did this a few years back- she aborted one of the children and kept two. Or something like that scenario.

I listened to part of an interview on NPR of a woman who was pregnant with (iirc) triplets. Having 3 would mean she’d have to move out of Manhattan, so she had a selective abortion so she wouldn’t have to move to the wilds of Staten Island.
Imagine growing up knowing your mom was cold enough to kill two of your siblings.
My tagline.
PlaneGanache sounds plain crazy.
they’re just boys. we’re all just expendable to women.
And the girls get to tell their friends they were supposed to have two brothers but their mom didn't want them.
yes is the simple answer to her question.
why doesn’t she carry them all to term and help find a family for the boys if she is so against raising them?
Some women would give their right arm to be able to get pregnant and have a healthy baby. I realize there are many children already waiting for adoption but this lady considering killing some for her own selfish reasons is in her words being an a**hole.
I hope she prays and God will help her change her mind to have all the babies.
You still haven’t convinced me abortion is OK.
