An absolutely jaw-dropping article. Ms. Richards is the pig.

My immediate response was, I cannot have triplets. I was not married; I lived in a five-story walk-up in the East Village; I worked freelance; and I would have to go on bed rest in March. I lecture at colleges, and my biggest months are March and April. I would have to give up my main income for the rest of the year. There was a part of me that was sure I could work around that. But it was a matter of, Do I want to?

She used "I" nine times and never once considered the other two lives she so casually snuffed out.

Words fail me.

"I was tired of being on the pill, because it made me moody."

She goes off the pill not because they wanted a baby, but because it made her moody. Unbelievable.

I feel very sorry for the one child that narrowly escaped being killed.

"selective reduction"
Salinger, Hitler, and their eugenics people would be happy with this woman and her choice of words to justify and alleviate the pain of the word 'murder'.

[Rutles4Ever]

Devastating piece. The callous disregard for life in this country will be our demise. I have a lot of compassion. I even have compassion for people who have abortions. I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt and assume that if most people truly understood what they were doing, if the feminists hadn't brainwashed them into believing the death of their infants was about something benign like "choice", that most women would stay home and choose life.

But these two -- these two are absolute filth. They are lower than scum, and quite literally in concert with Satan. They are clearly aware they are "stopping two heartbeats". They chose material "convenience" over God's creation. They have paved their road to an awful place in hell, and I pray that God will mercifully show them their error before it's too late. I am not a fundamentalist. I am a Roman Catholic who isn't into the fire and brimstone approach, but this -- this is absolutely the worst of the worst.

These people are terrorists in their own right.

[AmericanChef]

She shouldn't have any children. How sickening.

[beaversmom]

Amy's choice--just like removing a toe nail or a tonsil to this cold hearted, selfish bitch. So sorry the little babies were in her womb. For the life of me, I don't understand how someone can see the heartbeats on the screen and still go on with the killing. I sometimes feel bad when I kill a bug. No way in heck I could snuff out a little human being. I don't know how she looks at the little boy she kept. How can she love him? If he had been number two and three, he could have been sucked out too. This woman is just so disgusting on some many fronts I don't know where to begin; unfortunately, it's typical of many's mentality today.

Rush is talking about this now!

BTTT

[dbwz]

This is the article Rush was talking about...

[Blue Scourge]

This woman probably shed more tears when she broke a nail...that is if she shed any at all for those two babies.

[The Old Hoosier]

This cuts me to my heart. It's so sad that anyone could be so cruel.

Meet Amy!

Amy as a real person is Amy Richards, a feminist activist. "Ask Amy" is one of the many hats that I wear, but the best example of the random facts that I carry around in my head, on little scraps of paper, and in overly organized filing cabinets.

It is also the result of endless meetings—meant in only the best sense, i.e. that the end will never be in sight because it just keeps changing form; constant interactions with inspiring and incredible people who don't yet know they are feminists or those who have been feminists longer than I have been alive; my continual excitement of an organization in the South Bronx that trains women to go from welfare to work or a group of men who are working with other men to stop violence against women—and so much more.

When I'm not on-line at two in the morning attempting to sincerely and thoroughly answer each question, I spend my time writing. For instance, I just finished co-authoring (with Jennifer Baumgardner) Manifesta: Young Women Feminism and the Future (here's an excerpt), working as a consulting editor to Ms. Magazine and as a consultant to Gloria Steinem. That's the part that's paid - or what I refer to as my day job. The other part is my involvement with the Third Wave Foundation. Since Third Wave's inception in 1992, I have watched it grow from an organization struggling to find a place within the feminist movement to being one of only a few organizations for young feminists. Today it serves 5000 members nationally —and a few more internationally —through our members meetings, our newsletter, See It? Tell It. Change It!, and our on-line information (www.thirdwavefoundation.org). Additionally, we connect with over 2,000 more young people across the country through local programs. For instance, we grant money to projects that are by, for and about young women between the ages of 15 and 30, and host public education campaigns like I Spy Sexism, Why Vote? and Why Give?

Five years ago Feminist.com was just an idea—today it is an ever expanding information highway for women and people who care about women's issues. Ask Amy began as something I did unofficially as a way to share some of what I learn on a daily basis - today it is doing that in a more organized and hopefully more effective way. Who knows what tomorrow holds, but I hope more of all of the above. —Amy

What cold hearted stupid act. She wanted to avoid bed rest and severe morning sickness and not being able to fly- well then don't have sex honey because all of those things can happen with a singleton pregnancy as well. I know- because I went from a 100% healthy pregnancy to pre-term labor and almost losing my son at 29 weeks gestation.

Shame on her.

[tuckrdout]

Oh my......I am speechless.

I wonder aloud to my Lord in Heaven, why he blessed this monster and her milktoast "boyfriend" with 3 children?

I offer to her to take this precious little boy from her, because kids are a lot of trouble, they are a huge pain in the neck for the rest of your lives....but to those of us who love them and appreciate their worth, they are the best kind of pain!

Yes, she needs to get sterilized. The babies father likewise needs to make sure that he does not impregnate anyone else, because he doesn't have the strength it takes to raise any children to adulthood.

Why didn't they just get a cat?

[Paved Paradise]

I want to say I don't believe this, but I know it's true. What we see here is what we are seeing over and over again. People killing babies, divorcing, etc. because of their selfish desires. Of course it would not be easy. There are many people with a special needs child that will never be able to support itself or live alone and they don't kill it. Of course, Peter Singer would advocate killing it since he's fine with killing kids up to two years of age.

I'm still reeling from this.

Innocent blood, wonder if/why she didn't keep the female baby? Those babies didn't have a choice. Can't read this again to see if I missed that.
Selfish is a very kind word to use in describing this female.

[redgolum]

Can't say much except that this is sick. She killed her own children to be "comfortable".


I fear the thermostat in hell is not adjustable.

[MEGoody]

"My immediate response was, I cannot have triplets. I was not married"

That was easily fixed. But you and 'Peter' were to selfish to put the needs of your children ahead of your own.
