Never trust anything from an anonymous author. They usually make things up or embellish the little truth that’s in the story. This was written by someone with an agenda-—his feelings and morals don’t match his actions. He knows it’s murder, but goes along with it? Give me a break!
***Never trust anything from an anonymous author.***
Good point. The article is extremely well written by someone with a very strong pro-life ethic and I agree with your observation that this is not his own experience. Perhaps it is based on a couple that he knows or had heard about. The story was so disturbing that he felt compelled to illustrate the cowardice & immorality from both the male and female perspectives.
Even if he is lying about being the ‘father’ his narrative is still powerful.
as a man and the father,the law doesn’t allow him any choice..

Of course this story might not be true (I hope it’s not true, actually) but I clicked the link and Life Site News says it is a reprint from American Thinker. I think those are two pretty reputable sites and I imagine they would have verified the truth of the story, or at least the identity of the author, since the med recs would be confidential.
But please realize there have been many stories about these “selective reductions” and this is not such a rare “procedure” anymore.
One infamous one was printed in the NY Times (I think, or something at least that well known) and the authoress portrayed herself as rather remorseless over what she had done. I always remember the line about if she had triplets (I think it was triplets reduced to one, who had been born by the time the piece was written iirc) she’d end up being the type of person who bought giant jars of mayonnaise at Costco.
Hubby and I recently joined Costco and while we were there I saw those giant jars. I said to hubby “see those, a woman killed her child just because she didn’t want to buy them”.
And it is a fact that men, even husbands, have NO SAY in whether of not their children are born. I suppose this man could have gone to court, but other men have, and they have lost. Abortion is legally a constitutional right and that is just about that.
I’ve always wondered what the child of that Times article would think of his mother when he grew up and learned she’d had his sibling(s) killed.
