[Jeff Chandler]

Murderous bitch.

[Think free or die]

Ugh. I was on bed rest with my now 11-year old son from ~15 weeks to the end. As far as I can tell, I've suffered no permanent ill effects. My employer also managed without me without facing financial collapse. Selfish woman.

[Inyokern]

but now I'm going to have to move to Staten Island. I'll never leave my house because I'll have to care for these children. I'll have to start shopping only at Costco and buying big jars of mayonnaise.

and I might even start driving an SUV and voting Republican.

[CindyDawg]

Did she ever decide who's fault it was? He absent dad, her mom, her friends, her cousins, her "what ever you say dear" boyfriend, the twins... I agree with her on one issue though. Don't get pregnant again. Get a tubal.

[JockoManning]

I have no idea how to reply to this. Cold-hearted, yep.

[blueminnesota]

I desperately wanted identical twins when I was pregnant. I can't imagine having them and getting rid of them like that. Was her Manhattan apartment really so much more important than her children? I worry about the one remaining that was born. How will she treat him if he becomes inconvenient? How will she explain what she did to his siblings?

[Graybeard58]

I watched my cellphone vibrating, grabbed it and ran into the lobby.

Awfully considerate of the murderer. Not wanting to disturb her fellow patrons she answers her phone in the lobby.

[GVnana]

Oh yeah. Helluva mother she'll be. Wonder if she'll ever tell the kid his siblings were killed in the womb. And every woman should have an abortionist.

[Clintonfatigued]

It's sad that the woman was in that fix, and she faced a difficult decision. But if she was that ill-prepared and unsuited to raise more than one child, she could have placed the other two babies up for adoption. There are a number of married couples unable to have children who want them. Was she so clueless that than termination was the only option that occured to her?

[Gunrunner2]

>>but I'd have to give up my life.'<<

Her life interrupted, the babies life snuffed out. Even trade? Apparently for her. I am sure the babies have another opinion on that.

>>Not only would I have to be on bed rest at 20 weeks, I wouldn't be able to fly after 15.<<

Darned inconvenient, won't be able to make that trip to Las Vegas.

Evil, selfish creature.

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Utterly horrifying.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Wow! I'm stunned! She's right about one thing though. I believe she will live to regret her decision!

I find it equally repugnant that the doctor "helped" her through her "trauma". I guess they don't take that oath of "do no harm" very seriously, do they?

[litany_of_lies]

The NYT is so radically pro-abort that it doesn't even see how letting this get published exposes such people as the self-absorbed jerks they really are to anyone with even an ounce of compassion.

"Is it possible to get rid of one of them? Or two of them?'' GET RID OF?

But now I'm going to have to move to Staten Island. I'll never leave my house because I'll have to care for these children. I'll have to start shopping only at Costco and buying big jars of mayonnaise. OH THE HUMANITY!

The procedure involves a shot of potassium chloride to the heart of the fetus. THE FETUS? THESE ARE YOUR BABIES WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!

Note how the concept of adoption never gets mentioned. Note how it's all about her "trauma" of carrying them (yeah, I'm a guy, and I'm sure it's difficult, but we're talking murder here). Note how his or her family helping out is never mentioned. Also note how no one is wondering what God wants.

So, pro-aborts, here's your poster child. Ya like how it looks?

[HamiltonJay]

God offered me the chance to be the mother to 3 children... I slaughtered 2 of them in the womb, and I feel good about that... aren't I a good little feminazi.

Cold hearted selifish murderous bitch. And that's about the kindest thing I can think to call her.

[Navy Patriot]

Do you think Amy Richards will tell her son about how she aborted his two siblings? If she was just a LITTLE more selfish, he wouldnt be around either.

Who knows, he might someday browse old issues of the Slime, Amy will encourage him to read that trash.

[spodefly]

Pathological narcicissim posing as progressive enlightenment. Convenience winning out over conscience. Lifestyle trumping life.

She is the Heart and Soul of the Democrat party.

[I-53]

I hate them.

[kstewskis]

And adoption, in this case, would be wrong why?

Why do the twins have to die (no, be murdered) for the mother's irrational insecurities?

Babies don't get to pick their parents, unfortunately.

[not_apathetic_anymore]

Wow. I wonder about the NYT's purpose in running this essay. It can't possibly be to support a pro-choice stance can it?

I have a more liberal stand on abortion than many freepers: I don't like it, I think it's wrong as a method of birth control, partial birth abortion is abhorrent, but it is the law- one that I hope will be changed. I'm not, however, a single issue voter.

I don't state my beliefs to incite an argument with those who feel more strongly about this issue. I state them rather to say that even with my relatively more liberal abortion stand I find this woman's behavior incomprehensible, and indefensible on every level. This story can do nothing to support the pro-choice position. Thus again I'm puzzled as to why the NYT would run this.

As an aside. I also grew up with my mother being my only parent. "It's OK, it doesn't matter, I'm over it," was my generic response whenever someone would express sympathy over my father's death. Somewhere in my early 20's I started to admit to myself that I had in fact missed my father's presence in my life... I still do.

[Katya]

Words escape me....my first thought was that this could not possibly be true...tragic.
