These successful professionals are actually godless robotic morons. Just from a purely selfish point of view (forget the fetus) they are setting themselves up for a lifetime of regret, recrimination and retribution. You don’t kill this gift from God...especially at age 40. I can see a poor stupid 16 year old or 20 year old being somewhat forgiven for doing this but not at age 40. Talk about accumulating sin and bad karma.
They seem to have enough money so what’s the problem? Must be the wife’s doing. She could handle the phony corporate world but can’t handle three real live living babies
I too can see the decision process being different at these ages. The 16 or 20 year old might well feel overwhelmed by the logistical and financial responsibilities. At 40, personal comfort and established lifestyle probably play a bigger role. A loving extended family and community could go a long way toward helping a young parent or couple cope with these challenges. The older parents may be tougher to dissuade from this path, being more set in their ways and steeped in this self-absorbed culture.
