The op-ed notes at the end, "David L. Ulin is book editor of the Los Angeles Times."

When they aren't campaigning for terrorists, the Left these days seems to be on an "I loved my abortion" kick. This piece is a variant on that theme.

Interestingly, even Naomi Wolf (Al Gore's favorite feminist) admitted a while back that she felt guilty over taking the Morning After pill when she was a college student. Today, that sentiment would get her expelled from the Lunatic Left.

But I thought the morning-after pill was only going to be used by underage victims of incestuous rape ...

Did I miss the new memo saying it was to be standard birth control for frisky yuppies?

I'm sure he sincerely believes what he has written. How sad.

This is our decision, our sense of what is right, our individual accountability.

One day you'll be accountable to the Lord's version of what is right.

G-d help you when you'll murder your own child.

And he might have had to move out to Staten Island and start buying those giant jars of mayonaise from Costco.

What a selfish unprincipled low-life this guy is. What is even more amazing is that he seems to think he is enlightened.

This article reminds me of why I have such disdain for Liberals.

Wouldn't it be nice if the unwanted aborted children would be the ones who judge the parents who in the heat of the moment chose themselves over the life they had just created?

We love our children - the ones we chose, anyway

Why would he and his wife feel it is so important to share something as "intimate" as this with the whole world? And, how do you think it makes the rest of his kids feel that they were simply chosen not to be terminated? I'm sure this idiot thinks this will make his other children feel greatful.

What a self centered weasle.

"After all, why did we use Plan B? We did it for our family. We weren't trying to avoid responsibility, but rather to embrace it. "

Come again, I don't quite get that.

War is wrong, because killing evil men who would murder you in your sleep and enslave your family is wrong. The death penelty is wrong, because killing a repeat serial-killer pedophile is wrong. But killing an unborn child in the womb because you are too stupid, too drunk, or too selfish to behave responsibly...hey, that's just fine for a Liberal. As long as you can rationalize it, that is.

In school, we used to do the "you are stranded on a desert island with supplies for five and six people, who lives and who dies" excercise. I knew people who would moan, complain, hand-wring and panic over the injustice of the excercise...how can you choose young over old, rich over poor, healthy over ill? And those very same people would have no problem having an abortion.

My wife and I have a unique perspective on this, because living through six miscairrages on the way to having our two much loved and much desired daughters meant we never had to worry about birth control...we were trying all the time, and anguished when it failed, over and over. Even today, there is the remote chance we might have another, even though we feel strapped to pay for two. It's not likely. But if it happened, we would raise that third child in our loving arms, and praise God for the blessing. Some people may be able to go to their graves knowing that their selfishness prevented another living being from walking the earth, breathing the air, and becoming a thinking, loving miracle of God's love for us...but it won't be me, and I don't know how Libs who are soooooooooooooooooooo proud of how loving, giving, and touchy-feely they are manage to do so.

If a child must die so that you can live better, you are is living in poverty.

"When we realized what had happened, . . " This guy is in his forties, right? Further proof that leftists always act like stupid teenagers.

Molech (a.k.a Chemosh) was the ancient god of prosperity.
He was worshipped by many of the Cannanite tribes. All he
required was that you sacrifice one or more of your
children to him and he would give you prosperity.

This god today is being worshipped at abortion clinics (and
in the privacy of home) by millions. "We can afford another
one", "What about my college?".

Why not put this precious child up for adoption?! Think
of how many couples have to go overseas for children...

A better title might be:

"My wife and I chose family--and killing our unwanted children."

Paging Mr. Orwell. Paging Mr. Huxley.

This is our decision, our sense of what is right, our individual accountability. It's what I think of when I hear that amorphous term "pro-choice," the choice to live as I see fit, to make decisions and deal with the consequences.

These are the same people who enthusiastically support politicians who tell us how much water we can have in our toilets, where and how much we can smoke, etc. Some "choice."

I practice NFP. Maybe this author should consider that and not look on fertility with such hatred. This article is so sad on so many levels :(

"My wife and I are stretched thin with two kids and two jobs, with school, rent, clothing, health insurance, time. Yet more to the point, we love our family as it is, love the balance among the four of us, the dynamic, the emotional interplay."

So SELFISH and SELFCENTERED it's stunning.

To be sure, there's a pragmatic element at work here: My wife and I are stretched thin with two kids and two jobs, with school, rent, clothing, health insurance, time. Yet more to the point, we love our family as it is, love the balance among the four of us, the dynamic, the emotional interplay

Put bluntly... we're selfish. The notion that another child in a family that has only two is a stretch on ones financial or emotional well being is absolute nonsense. Your parents raised typically 4.. and your grandparents 6 or 7... What an idiotic argument.

If you believe life begins at conception, plan B is murder... if you don't that's fine you are welcome to that belief... but to come here and basically portray yourself as believing life begins at conception, but I'm going to use the morning after pill because I'm being responsible.. you are an abject idiot.
