Woman speaking about the father of her aborted baby. they aborted a previously wanted baby because amniocentesis showed that the child was handicapped:
“Even though he wasn’t talking, I think he may have taken it a little bit harder than even I did, because he seemed to be more afraid to try again… I was more optimistic, and I guess he was still grieving, and I was already on to, “okay, let’s try this again.” But he wasn’t ready, he was more afraid. Even when he’s not talking, I know what he’s feeling.”
Rayna Rapp Testing Women, Testing the Fetus: the Social Impact of Amniocentesis in America (New York: Routledge, 1999) 216
There is always adoption...and I’m glad I did. I was blessed to have adopted a wonder little 8 month old boy with cerebral palsy that utterly changed my life for the better...I couldn’t have imagined a life without him. He has a great personality and is one handsome little dude! Now 7 yrs old - he’s my light every morning I wake and comfort every night I go to sleep. He makes me a good father! I understand why this mother aborted the baby due to a handicap - but there are children that do not have handicaps - that need parents.
Women who non-chalantly kill their children are reevaluated by the husbands they leave fatherless...
Replace the word aborted with murdered.
Many doctors push abortion upon a bad Amniocentesis test result. This is because they are afraid of being sued, and some have been.
He should leave her. God forbid he get into an accident and ends up handicapped, she’ll be wanting to murder him next. Safe yourself, dude, and head for the hills while you still can!
The father needs to leave this murderer ASAP! If they got a perfect kid who got injured...will she kill him?
understandable....but before they try again to naturally birth a baby that may have the same condition...I suggest adopt a baby already born or a child in foster care...there are kids out there that need stable homes - it’s the only way to physically break the cycle of abuse that is more common than ever before...
It seems from the brief excerpt that both parents decided to abort. It also seems that the reluctance to “try again” may simply be fear of conceiving another “imperfect” child.
In other words, this couple seems to belong together.
