The ending is pro-life, but the run-up is horrifying. While it is easy to dismiss these crazies for wanting to abort their first child, especially the heartless “husband” whose career is so important a child must die to keep it on track. However, on the plus side, the newspaper is read by a lot of people who think like they do. In that sense, it subtly nudges the liberal know-nothings toward the pro-life position. Thank God for the mother’s own mother, who seems to be the only sensible person in this story.
Amen to that.
And we can hope (and pray) that over the years, this gal acquires her own mother's wisdom.
She may.
