Young women used to be ashamed of an unwanted pregnancy. Many times she would be sent way to relatives to have the baby or there would be a shotgun wedding.
Now there is zero shame in announcing to the the world, via the New York Times, that you legally killed (OK, she hired an MD hit man) two of your babies and let the third one live so you could love it and raise it.
And that guy Peter--what a Pontius Pilate. "Shouldn't we consider having triplets?" "Oh, my gosh, there are three heartbeats. I can't believe we're about to make two disappear." But legally, what could he have done to protect his children? Nothing.
It wasn't that long ago either. Hard to believe, huh?
More civilized times.

Dennis, I wonder if she really "loves" the one she spared. It's so common nowadays amongst modern-minded types that they see their children not as children, but merely as objects of gratification with no more intrinsic value that a Monopoly board game. They see their children as pets, playmates, playthings, possessions, status symbols, accessories, everything but children. Eventually, "parents" who think this way lose whatever interest they ever had in their children and completely ignore them, leaving the children to fend for themselves or fobbed off on relatives, nannies, teachers, coaches, anyone but the parents.
