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....

I truly fear for the two girls.
Wait til their kids learn what the parents did to their siblings!! Hello MENENDEZ !!
Are they boys and girls, or fetuses? This is beyond disgusting. He writes this article with no compassion, much like a sociopath admits to murder. We have been trying to get pregnant for a while and if we can’t get pregnant the good ol’ fashioned way, we have already ruled out “fetus selection.” I can not and will not purposely implant a child in my womb, only to inject it with poison.
I believe this is a parody, isn’t it?
Will you please stop posting these things inside threads? They deserve their own threads so people don’t miss out on them.
They are really good
In the article, on why they chose to kill the boys: “ Some studies show offspring of older fathers (I’m 47) run a higher risk of autism, and males are four times as likely to be autistic. “
Hey, let’s just stop having boys then. I mean, they die an awful lot faster than girls and have way more health problems.
I mean, I’d rather be dead than have health problems! That makes a ton of sense.
Bastards!.........I'm just so angry...............
It makes me sick that pigs like that can even have children.....
What disgusting people. How is it possible that these two individuals can even be considered to be fit parents when they go and kill 2 of their children?
“I’m so proud of murdering two of my kids, I just had to boast about it!”
Still, I had reservations about bringing girls into the world now, when forces seemed to be aligning to disenfranchise them (nine of 10 GOP presidential candidates favor reversing Roe vs. Wade).
The only “forces” aligned against these baby girls are thier own parents. They certainly have no problem disenfranchising them from life. Does this idot know how ironic, and sick, this statement is?
Funny... we're all blobs of cells... just some blobs are more equal than others...
good luck with your quest for children.
Yes..I have long been confused by the practice of implanting more embryos than should be carried.
I understand that they expect some of them not to “take.”
But in the case when they all begin to thrive, it simply doesn’t make sense to kill the fetus.
..... words can’t describe how disguesting this is ... there are plenty of people who would have taken those other children in
Frankly I think in cases like this the mothers should be aborted instead of the children. I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing her brains scrambled along with her husband, the doctor and anyone else who put these sick morals into her head.
I’m not a violent guy but in cases like this I don’t think there should be any mercy in cases like this, I can’t love enemies who do this kind of thing.
How very sad for everyone involved. But God’s grace can cover even this, if the parents choose to accept it. I pray they do for their own sake and the sake of their little girls. Poor things.
“Hey, lets just stop having boys then. I mean, they die an awful lot faster than girls and have way more health problems.”
my husband and I joke that pretty soon the parents of baby boys will be sent home with their ritalin prescription and “learning disabled” label already in place.
Sorry Dan and Mrs. Neil, but you most certainly DID do SOMETHING WRONG!!!
Intentionally killing your children, may to you, not be "wrong" however it is very, very wrong (and it's called murder even if lawyers in black robes say it's OK). God doesn't agree with them and He certainly doesn't consider you innocent.
Murder of one's own children, even for convenience, is a particularly heinous deed.
Having read only part of your article, I am praying to God, for all of your babies, the living and the dead.
“What disgusting people. How is it possible that these two individuals can even be considered to be fit parents when they go and kill 2 of their children?”
And this is california...where they considered not allowing infants to go home with parents who owned guns.
But the truth is, there is no such thing as a pretty abortion. The alternatives to intact D&E are no less grim. Is grasping and dismembering the fetus in utero with forceps (as opposed to after a partial extraction) or injecting it with heart-stopping chemicals and then delivering the stillbirth any less repellent?Good question. Glad to hear you say it, Mr. Neil.
"Cognitive dissonance" seems a totally inadequate term for this.
