What an asinine statement you chose to quote! (not your fault)

He aborted the boys because they have a statistical chance of being autistic? Give me a break! As the grandmother of an autistic child, I am offended by the “sperm donor’s” comment! Then, he adds kerosene to the blaze by saying that he also was reluctant to bring girls into the world because of Republican efforts to curtail Roe v. Wade.

Why didn’t he just get rid of all of them at once? THere are so many chances to have this man’s perfect little world upset. sarcasm/off

I pity those poor little girls being raised in that awful environment. I hope the parents change their minds and put them up for adoption to a good and loving home that appreciates them as human beings — not designer babies.

And if he is so worried about the health of his wife carrying multiples, why is she continuing with twins? This whole story sounds bogus to me.

“I pity those poor little girls being raised in that awful environment. I hope the parents change their minds and put them up for adoption to a good and loving home that appreciates them as human beings — not designer babies.”

why would they give up these “wanted” girls when they invested so much money in 3 ivf procedures to have them?

They cannot be held responsible for the fact that the 2 male fetuses - who have more chance of autism - beat the odds and proved to be hardier than embryos from previous attempts.

These people didn’t pay good money for a “risky” pregnancy...heavens no!

This is a business deal and now we make moral life and death decisions based on statistics.
No one should be expected to held personally accountable for their actions when the statistics don’t work in their favor!

Isn’t the utilitarian view of life grand?
