This is the one that’d been trying for six years before she came up with twins, right? You go through all that, get pregnant with twins, and then you abort one...I’m sorry, but you need your ass kicked.
I am trembling with grief and anger. I can’t understand. I don’t ever want to understand how someone could abort a baby but it is even MORE disturbing that you want a baby but decide to abort just one.
OMG! Not a a good example of a good mother in my book INMHO.
Not to share too many details, but I have five kids, two of whom are naturally-conceived twins. My wife and I spent many years being told to accept the ones that we had, and to get used to it. And we would, and them, BOOM, another beautiful kid coming down the pike, so-to-speak. I’d love to have more. And I’m already used to all the buy-one-get-one-free jokes, having used them before. I cannot understand the rationale, for lack of any appropriate word publishable here, that reconciles the IVF thing with abortion. To me, although I do not approve of IVF, as a Catholic, it seems that a couple unable to conceive except through IVF would not be inclined to murder one of their own in this fashion. It is indeed horrifying to me. Words, for once, fail me.
SICK SICK SICK!
One point that hasn’t been emphasized is that they were not the woman’s natural children - they were her husband’s children with some other woman. Maybe that contributed toward making one of them so easily disposable.
Thats ok. We will just abort the other one after its a year old and see if she feels the same way.
“While “grateful” that the abortion was possible, the latter woman, who is due in December, said she still wondered if she chose “the right one.”
Sadly, the aborted one was probably the more fortunate of the two, considering it would have been the coin-flip child of two selfish lesbians. The whole sordid mess makes me phyically ill.
The Catholic Church, and probably others, warned against this kind of consumerist dehumanization of life when IVF started in the 70s.
There, fixed it for you.
I can only shake my head in bewilderment and such awful sadness. If my beautiful daughter had been twins I would have welcomed them both into my life with great joy! What is wrong with people???
I wonder what the aborted child would have had to say if allowed to live and adopted???
I’m also thinking that, when the child that was allowed to live learns that it’s twin was aborted, you gonna have one pissed off problem on your hands. That’s not going to go down easy.
To read this excuse for a woman’s words referring to her killing of an unborn child as a “reducing of a pregnancy” has me so upset that I am thinking very bad thoughts. And, the circumstances of her pregnancy, (IVF), age, etc., have nothing to do with this callous act. A POX on all who side with her “right to choose”. May she live the rest of her own life in misery with the memory of what she has done.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I am an identical twin.

Unfortunately, you may be right, unsettling as that point is. IMO, she should have thought about that aspect, long before implantation. Or perhaps she did, and didn't think it would be a problem. Of course, it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind...
The law makes lab-based reproduction purely a consumer decision. If a woman thinks she wants to gestate someone else’s children, and has the money to pay, a doctor will implant them. If she changes her mind, and has the money to pay, a doctor will kill them.
The present situation in the US recognizes no ethical or moral constraints, no concern for the child before or after birth, no common-sense standards ... only money. Cases such as the one under discussion are absolutely to be expected.
Makes me think of Huxley’s “Brave New World” with the embryos in jars on conveyor belts. Shudder.
