Sorry, I don't have time to read all the posts. This sounds like a new spin on the same old argument! They knew going in. Christian couple who are concerned about this don't have more than one or two implanted, and have the rest saved...then they are called "snowflake babies" and given for adoption to parents who can't want babies and can't for other reasons, have thier own. This will hit them, down the road.

Greater than this is the findings that they will have 2 children who will grow up knowing there were 2 others that were aborted...they won't even have to be told. It has been found that psychologically, children know their birth order, and know instinctively there were other siblings that are not alive, whether miscarried, stillborn, or aborted.

Interesting that the Amnio is brought up...that is invasive and a risk to the baby and mother as well, which the medical field doesn't want to bring up, either...

Their grieving time will come, some day, when they least expect it. They will battle with the grief, the shame, the guilt. Everyone who aborts does. Their family will too.

I am wondering if we are to consider him noble for choosing his wife and 2 out of 4 kids, when they knew this going in!! I have a 21 yr old daughter who has ever social and pro-choice reason given as viable reasons for her to choose to abort....heart condition, blood condition, double womb, single parent, won't survive normal birth so has to have a c-section, now in financial issues because of bedrest to keep the one and only baby she will carry... She chose LIFE! Against all odds, she is choosing LIFE! Somehow, I find the author of the article lacking, when measured up against my 21 yr old!

“I find the author of the article lacking, when measured up against my 21 yr old!”

you are right about that.
Considering that people expect parents to sacrifice for their children - to do their very best to protect them - yes - this man seems to lack a great deal.

People can talk all they want about statistics, but in the end it is still a parent watching his sons’ hearts being intentionally stopped.
A society that says this is “acceptable” is very sick.
