From a woman who had several abortions:
“I’m moving out to a one-bedroom condominium. I don’t have crumb–snatchers tearing up my house. I live where there’s adult living. I don’t have to live in the 69th Village, because I can’t afford anything else… My cousin, she just had [a baby]. She’s just a month younger than me. … But I mean, who gets up with this child? She does… I don’t know if I’m just materialistic or what… [but] she has to wait for the first and the 15th [to get a welfare check]. She stocks up on diapers. I don’t want to be like that. I don’t want to be like that.
It’s just a different type of lifestyle that I want to lead right now… I’m not ready for it now. Because I mean, there’s so many things that, so many opportunities and other choices you know, that are offered to me right now. I just don’t want to miss out on it. I just don’t want to miss anything.…
When you’re growing up you go through a lot of changes. It’s a part of growth. … You might have men problems, you just change. You might be young and you might be infatuated and you end up getting married, you have a child by him and you have another child … and you’re sick of him so you want to leave and then you go off with your boyfriend. I don’t want to bring my child through all that mess. Then, I know I wouldn’t be with the man forever, because I would grow out of him, and then, then I’ll have to drag my child through that…. These are the years when we go through our little flings, so don’t make any real commitments now.”

She was not using birth control consistently the three or four times she got pregnant and aborted.
There's much more social pathology going on here than just the baby killer.
Now, I'd consider it the single thing that I enjoy most, and my greatest achievement.
Though, it is a work in progress, and will be a work in progress for the rest of my life. And when WBill Jr. mouths off to his mother, it makes that whole "greatest achievement" thing a bit of a question mark. :-)
People as bitter, sad, and selfish as the lady in this article, aren't deserving of such a gift, IMO. Unfortunate that her aborted child needed to suffer for it.
Heh, heh. Thx.
This woman killed her children. That’s not being responsible ; it’s selfishness taken to its extreme. The only difference between her and a serial killer is that her murders were “legal.”
