The abortion debate brought home He and his wife have always been pro-choice; recently, they were forced to make the Choice. By Dan Neil May 6, 2007
MY WIFE AND I just had an abortion. Two, actually. We walked into a doctor's office in downtown Los Angeles with four thriving fetuses two girls and two boys and walked out an hour later with just the girls, whom we will name, if we're lucky enough to keep them, Rosalind and Vivian. Rosalind is my mother's name.
We didn't want to. We didn't mean to. We didn't do anything wrong, which is to say, we did everything right. Four years ago, when Tina and I set out on this journey to have children, such a circumstance was unimaginable. And yet there I was, holding her hand, watching the ultrasound as a needle with potassium chloride found its mark, stopping the heart of one male fetus, then the other, hidden in my wife's suffering belly....

This man is the logical result of years of liberal indoctrination.
Autism? how unthinkable! Who would want such a “burden”.
Nevermind that a perfectly “healthy” child could grow up to be a hellraiser - or a liberal.
Physical handicaps are easy to spot and make defenseless humans easy targets.
If we could spot the genes that make people unbearably annoying alot more folks would have their heads on the chopping block.
This is a narcissistic, self centered, utilitarian society.
Unfortunately it isn’t only liberals who think like this.
“By-the-way, this type of situation is only one of the many reasons why the Catholic Church is against in-vitro fertilization”
Yes..as I understand it the Church’s position goes something like...
if you have sex - be open to life.
If you procreate - you must have sex to do it.
It just kills me to see wankers brag about abortion like it was nothing. Life is so precious and so amazing and to read something like that, just ticks me off.
I am convinced that this is a made-up story. Given the source (L.A. Times), the subject matter, and the conveniently "black and white" scenario that was painted... it's bound to be another Leftist Lie.
The mistake was inserting four. Either go one or two at a time and be cool with twins or don't do it at all.
There's really no excuse here for 'reduction.' Perhaps in addition to outlawing the ability to kill young humans, the law should also restrict implanting more than two embryos at a time.
-so what you are saying IS that you are FOR abortion to save some money? (((((shaking head)))))
Of course - it’s perfectly ok to risk having your baby sucked into a sink for financial reasons.
May our loving God bless you with a precious baby to love and hold.
Wonderful for your daughter!
You are so right. I pity them for what they will have to live with every day for the rest of their lives.
I wonder what it’s like to sit and watch the murder of your own child? Dear God.
High risk? Then only implant TWO....none of your arguements make any sense.
I am a shameless grandma-wannabee.......I have claimed my husband’s cousin’s granddaughter........I am the only fam in town and get her often. I love her as much as I would my own. My husband, who always claimed to NOT want to be a grandpa, has as well. Ava will be two this summer and she is such a joy.
You think this author would make up a lie about his own wife and children?
I don’t know.
he sounds like alot of people I know who don’t think abortion is a problem.
” My husband, who always claimed to NOT want to be a grandpa, has as well. Ava will be two this summer and she is such a joy.”
LOL!
I remember a couple of folks who were not ready to be grandparents...until the day they held their granddaughter in their arms and it all melted away.
I think I KNOW them. LOL
May they both burn in hell.
Yes.
It is a dangerous error to assume that radicalefists operate according to the same moral compass as Christians. They do not! They are amoral, interested more in the outcome of events rather than the behavior in achieving them.
This "end justifies the means" philosophy is the reason that the results of leftist initiatives are seldom good. If one's behavior through the process is not subject to any moral standard, there is little likelihood of ever achieving a positive goal. The self-centered nature of a morally unchecked man will derail the effort.
And if by some stroke of luck a result is reached, you can be assured it will be more costly than, and far inferior to what can be achieved by morally anchored people.
well...I can’t disagree with your opinion about the lefties...which is why I believe this guy is completely capable of actually being so callous about the deaths of his own sons.
I think your friend is in denial...
I’m sure she is...but as long as the embryos are allowed to remain in frozen storage there is nothing forcing her to confront the issue.
I don’t know how long they are allowed to remain there, I’m sure there has got to be a limit.
Nothing but liberal idiological trash, “oh we did’nt do anything wrong, which is to say we did everything right” I hope on judgement day they get to meet the little boy they selfishly deprived of life and in thier next life they can experience the joy of someone stopping thier heart and depriving them of life. These idiots are nothing but MURDERERS!
