I agree that her efforts would have been better spent either in being an advocate for crisis pregnancy or as a foster mother.
To bring a child into the world at such an advanced age and through artificial means is wrong on so many levels.
As you know, many of the former Soviet States have treated abortion as birth control for nearly 50 years. I had Russian friends in grad school who had multiple abortions and only through rediscovering a faith in God were able to comprehend what they had done. I don't fault them. They were not walking in the light. I prayed with them when they realized that it was a child they had aborted, not a nuisance.
I think I remember reading that the *average* number of abortions for a Russian woman was 10. I assume it was about the same in Romania; I remember reading that the Ceaucescu government tried to get women to have babies by offering cash bonuses, but it still didn't work. It was a miserable society.
The worst thing about this story is not that the woman had two abortions when her conscience was totally unenlightened, but that she now, while supposedly a Christian, doesn't see the connection between what she did then and what she's done now.
