I wish she had not aborted and instead given her baby up for adoption.
Oh, honey, wait until the unavoidable truth hits you later - and it will hit you - that you are and always will be the mother of a dead baby.
That will bring a pain upon you that is indescribable and never ending.
I wonder how she’s going to feel about killing her baby after a few years when she’s saddled with $100,000 of student loans to pay on a $30,000 a year job.
D**n, what a ghoul.
A few days ago, when I was talking to my mom on the phone, I finally broke down. I said, “It’s just like how everyone said high school would be awesome and it was awful and then college would be great and I hated it and now everyone is telling me that being a mom will suck at first but then it will be wonderful. What if it’s not? I want to do something I enjoy for a change, something for me!” As selfish and childish as it was, it was the truth. I was tired of working so hard to make everything come together under pressure. I finally had my chance, after 3 miserable years at a college my parents adored, to do something all about me and my dreams. I know the world has rules and (this program’s) rules are especially tough, but those were the rules I wanted to play by now. I guess those rules don’t allow for a baby at 22.This says it all about the entitlement generation, everything is for "ME!" How incredibly selfish; the only reason she has the "right" to kill her child is because her parents weren't as selfish as she.
Agreed. She’s too selfish to give her child to another family who will love and care for the child - so she decided to kill it instead.
What depravity exists in the world.
What a sick narcissistic witch.
You could tell how selfish the little brat is just in the first few paragraphs.
I read this column and all the posts in response. I strongly suspect the original column is fake, that whichever “journalist” interviewed this woman and monitored the responses actually made the column up. Isn’t it convenient how thoughtfully this woman seemed to consider every option, then wrote about her decision to “terminate” in a way that addressed almost every possible objection? The woman’s mother supposedly supports her, even the baby’s father supposedly stepped up, etc. Boy, these people are all just swell, aren’t they? Everybody is so reasonable and supportive; everybody seems to agree the only thing that matters is what the pregnant woman wants for herself. I smell a rat.
I notice the NY Times will only publish supportive comments towards the witch...... What a bunch of ghouls.
Yup, she spends a lot of time justifying killing a very inconvenient little human being.
The people I thought I could rely on are absent and it’s heartbreaking.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What did she expect? Her friends are self-absorbed liberal/Marxists!
What a sick sick society we live in
But killing the little zygote doesn't cause her any problems, apparently. Some people are so selfish they would rather kill their child than let someone else have the child. of course, this woman is probably a liberal -- they hate when other people get stuff, and think it's best if everybody suffers if they can't have what they want.
She new the "father" for 12 years, and thought he was a crappy guy who wouldn't step up to the plate on the pregnancy -- but that didn't keep her from sleeping with him and getting pregnant.
Of course her family is "supportive", what else are they going to do. And she talks about how all the other people who said they would help "disappeared", but having read what she thinks is justification for killing her child, I have no doubt she drove them off with her narcissism. Everything was about her, her needs, her wants, her fantasies, even how "bad" she would feel if someone else raised her child.
I think that screed pretty much explains why 1.5 million abortions are performed in this country every year.
Holy moley that is one self absorbed young lady. How sad. Projectile vomit alert for her decision making process.
Knowing the heart ache and the endless waiting that would be adoptive parents have to go through to end up with a child to love and call their own, is practically insurmountable. The cost of terminating a life through abortion is immeasurable. The world will never hear this child laugh, see a boundless smile, seems like 9 moths is nothing compared to death. Why should the baby pay for the mothers MISTAKE!!!! (read wrong time, wrong place)
Reminds me of my sorority sister in college.
“What? Give away my baby and never know where it is?”
Selfish women!!!
And this one justifies killing her own child by how important she thinks she is in the lives of others she doesn’t even know. Kill her own concrete child for children who are nothing to her but numbers on a spread sheet.
Hopefully one day, when she decides the moment is “right” for her to have children, her body is still able to do so. We had one baby, and were unable to have any others.
I once asked a girl why she had chosen abortion (she told me after the fact...probably didn’t want to hear anything but “go ahead”), why she didn’t give the baby up for adoption and she adamantly said “I couldn’t do that!” makes no sense....she couldn’t give the baby life and give it up b/c she was too attached, she loved it too much but she could kill it?! Sick, selfish logic. Boggles the mind of anyone with half a brain/heart.
