I can't think of a more devastating indictment.
In your imagination, maybe. Witnesses to abortion have no legal right to physically stop them, that I know of. There is nothing this man could have done but use his power of persuasion. Beyond that, he was powerless.
darn, no email address.
She saw nothing to fault. Its just like choosing between Coke and Pepsi for her.
The viability argument is flawed because it is based on a false premise.
A fetus is viable in the environment it was designed to be viable in at that particular stage of life, namely the womb, only by removing the fetus from its natural environment, does it cease to be viable. But that is true of every human being, and indeed all life. Put a born human being under water, and he is no longer viable, take a fish out of water, and it is not viable.
Viability is an matter of medical technology , not ethics. As our medical technology advances, the time of viability for a fetus taken out of the womb changes. The issue of when human life begins can not determined by the level of avilable technology, that would imply that a fetus that is considered a human life in modern day USA suddenly ceases to be one if the mother is suddenly dumped in the amazon jungle. What is truly not viable is a system of logic that can lead to such an absurd conclusion.
Who gives a shi- about bogus legalities when your child is about to be murdered in front of your very eyes?
A bad law is no law.
And I'd rather be judged by a bunch of liberals than have to answer to God for my inaction.
How far would you go? Would you kill the doctor?
40 million dead babies later and counting.
I can see violence being used to stop this violence one day.
Infanticide is but one facet of the crucible.
My views are no "Talibanista Histrionics".....it's just realism. If we ever do take up arms here to defend against encroachment on spark issues like gun confiscation, I can see the fight against infanticide becoming literal quickly.
It would probably end the couple's relationship. It might get the dad fined or jailed, but it might get the mother to think about what she's doing and save the babies. It might not. She could always go somewhere else to murder the babies. But it seems like the dad's best shot.
Amy Richards' story, "When One is Enough" (7/18/2004), about the "selective reduction" of her pregnancy with triplets, made my skin crawl. This couple didn't want to have to "start shopping only at Costco and buying big jars of mayonnaise," so they simply killed two of their three babies, to make their lives easier.
They knew exactly what they were doing. "Oh, my gosh, there are three heartbeats," she wrote. "I can't believe we're about to make two disappear." Then "a shot of potassium chloride to the hearts of" two of the three babies, administered by "the specialist" (Dr. Mengele?), and, presto change-o, the problem of triplets is solved.
This is narcissism carried to a murderous extreme: killing your own babies because they would be too much trouble to raise. To this mom, "it's all about me." More than 10% of the words in her article are "I," "me," and "my." Nothing in the world is more important to her than her own comfort and convenience, not even the lives of her own children.
Scripture says that the prince of this earth is Satan, but some Christians don't want to believe it. After reading this story, how can they not? If our society condones this, why are we shocked at middle class "prom moms" who drown their inconvenient newborns in toilets or toss them in dumpsters? Why are we shocked at anything at all?

My email to the author:
Your life is dedicated to the advancement of women.
With that in mind, what gender were your aborted twins? What if they were girls? What about their advancement?
"Was her Manhattan apartment really so much more important than her children?"
Was her apartment worth her immortal soul? God calls sodomy an abomination. This is far worse than that. Not from rape. Not from incest. Not to save the life of the mother. Just to save an apartment and avoid buying large jars of mayonaise.
[I was reviewing a Rush tape and thought I'd look this up on the web. He was also sickened by this. It was something to hear. So I checked out Google and get pinged back to the FR. Lots of people talked about this on the web, but the FR's link was at the top.]
God bless you and everyone here for caring!
2005 Bump. This article must never be forgotten. Amy Richards is the poster-child for the American left.
My wife and I found out on 12-21-04 we are having twins. We could not be happier. I could never even think about doing this.
Yeah, but I believe the one lady actally had and kept her baby, even though she was unmarried. Big difference between her and this nasty piece of work, imo.
In the 19th century, doctors discovered that the baby moves and is alive even before it can be felt by the mother.

Not alive...give me a break.
Congratulations!!
Thank you.
The key is to impeach judges. Simply waiting for the leftist creeps to retire is not enough.
