I found out I was having triplets when I went to my obstetrician. The doctor had just finished telling me I was going to have a low-risk pregnancy. She turned on the sonogram machine. There was a long pause, then she said, ''Are you sure you didn't take fertility drugs?'' I said, ''I'm positive.'' Peter and I were very shocked when she said there were three. ''You know, this changes everything,'' she said. ''You'll have to see a specialist.''
My immediate response was, I cannot have triplets. I was not married; I lived in a five-story walk-up in the East Village; I worked freelance; and I would have to go on bed rest in March. I lecture at colleges, and my biggest months are March and April. I would have to give up my main income for the rest of the year. There was a part of me that was sure I could work around that. But it was a matter of, Do I want to?
I looked at Peter and asked the doctor: ''Is it possible to get rid of one of them? Or two of them?'' The obstetrician wasn't an expert in selective reduction, but she knew that with a shot of potassium chloride you could eliminate one or more.

Yes you can: you're almost there now. Deceived: The Devil's ONLY weapon. Pray against it.
At around 1 MILLION a year; 40 M total, there are PLENTY of children out there NOW that are PLENTY 'creeped out'!!!
Is their unspoken question.....
and the OTHER question...
WHEN will it be me?
Is she going to be charged with murder?
Not in the slightest. I was quite happy to see that thread. Just because I said the attacks on her were vicious doesn't mean I wasn't glad it happened.
I don't know why anyone thinks I was taking her side.
No doubt, the boy in this story will be told all about his missing twin brothers/sisters and whatever justification this alien excuse for a mother will give for it - and every day his life will be filled with wondering how much better his life would've been if only he'd had his twins with him. Twins, triplets are a special gift, a rarely given gift from our Maker. Why couldn't she have let them live and given them to a couple who would've cherished them?
I don't have any words for a "father" that would've sat meekly in the doctors office as two of his children were executed. Manhood seems to be a vanishing quality.
If this woman has the right to murder unborn children then why don't I have the right to murden unwanted women?
