I'd hate to be her son for a whole host of reasons. One day he is going to learn that she killed his twin bothers and I can't begin to imagine the pain (and even misplaced guilt) he will feel.
Even one child is a lot of work, makes me fear for the lone son. What a self centered woman. She should never, ever have another child.
I am offended that this cold harridan breathes the same air that I do.
What a horrible woman. This is the most disgusting thing I've read in ages.
Why didn't she bring the other two to term and then just cook 'em up and eat 'em?. She could have invited all her trendy friends over for baby-potpie. The next wave in societal evolution: The avante-garde cannibal.
Ok. So what if her boy gets some sort of illness and she might feel that she ought to take care of him? Should she 'off' him because she might have to give up her precious income for a part of a year?
Of course, she would probably find someone else to care for him.
What is the point of this woman's life? I bet even she doesn't know.
If I could talk to this woman, I would tell her that siblings are a wonderful gift. My daughter and her sister do everything together. They are 3 and 5.
Spare me the pity fest. You killed your kid's two siblings.
Call her what you want, but she's being honest. And there are a lot of people out there like her. This article just isn't a human interest story. This article is trying to make you become numb to the everday industry of abortion.
This is why we need to outlaw abortion.
I'm not unsympathetic to the woman's plight. I'm sure bearing triplets is scary. So is being a teenager and being pregnant. Or being pregnant by someone you picture as being a husband and father. I can understand how a person can feel trapped in a situation and abortion appears to offer a way out.
This woman will wonder about the other two the rest of her life. Her husband Peter was already feeling guilt. The kindest thing we could have done is to have a law in place so that they aren't making this decision at a time that they feel is a crisis.
I hope her boyfriend will soon leave her and find somebody who was worth being a mother. What a truly cold and worthless individual.
I recommend Amy Richards. No doubt she will get the base really fired up!
This is the sad state that more than a few American (even perhaps Western women in general) have come to.
They were had more damned heart when they were oppressed by my male ancestors.
So much for freedom and rights...
sickening....evil walks this land.
This has GOT to be the ultimate in PC phrasing!
This is what happens when you, ".....let the woman choose!".
33 years ago I went through a very similar thing. My girlfriend, later my wife, decided at the last minute that having a baby and getting married was not going to work for her and her life goals at that time. So against my wishes, but sadly with my assistance, she aborted, what we later would realize, was our only child. 14 years later she decided maybe she was finally ready to get pregnant. We tried desperately for 5 month without success. 4 years later we got a divorce. 8 years later, God rest her soul, she died of what I believe was abortion induced breast cancer.
My point? Everyone talks about this being a choice, but the choice is always about what the woman wants. I think that in more instances than people want to admit the father wants the child, but the mother doesn't. Trust me that is an argument that the father always loses.
I not only feel terribly sorry for the unfortunate twins who were too big of an inconvenience of this modern hip and with it woman, but also the son who will never know his siblings. But most of all I feel so sorry for the father whose wishes were totally ignored, and who will always live with the memory of what he lost to make his girlfriend happy.
God gives her 3 babies and she kills 2 of them. What a terrible thing she has done.
"I'm John Kerry, and I approved this message."
I really hope you can help me with my dilemma. I'm not sure where else to turn and I thought I'd ask another woman for help. I recently read an article by you in the New York Times, otherwise I would never have known about you. What a find!
I'm not sure where to start. Here is my question. How far should a reasonable person go to avoid giant jars of mayonnaise? I know some people think there are worse things in the world, like infanticide, parents not loving their children, selfishness, cruelty and that old stand-by, murder. But those things have been with us for thousands of years. My dilemma is a relatively new one.
I thought about posing this question to a close girlfriend of mine who is childless, but perhaps her heartbreak is more significant than my fear of mayonnaise. In my defense, I'm not afraid of just any jar of mayonnaise, I'm not so unreasonable. It's the GIANT kind that disturb me. I feel like I'd do anything to avoid one of those jars. Do you think I am being reasonable?
Thank you for your consideration.
