>>> But then I found out that she has four other children, all of whom seem to be healthy. “What was she thinking?” I asked myself, but then the question morphed into “WHY?”<<<
“WHY?” What??
That she decided to have marital relations with her husband that ended up with a new life?
That she and her husband decided not to kill their unborn baby?
And what on earth does the fact that she and her husband have four other seemingly healthy children have to do with high cost of oil on the spot market?
A woman doesn't get pregnant nowadays unless she wnats to. One can have sex and not have children.
That she and her husband decided not to kill their unborn baby?
Killing the baby is not an option. Not playing Russian roulette with pregnancies in your 40's is.
