We didn't want to. We didn't mean to. We didn't do anything wrong, which is to say, we did everything right. Four years ago, when Tina and I set out on this journey to have children, such a circumstance was unimaginable. And yet there I was, holding her hand, watching the ultrasound as a needle with potassium chloride found its mark, stopping the heart of one male fetus, then the other, hidden in my wife's suffering belly.
We don't feel guilty. We don't feel ashamed. We're not even really sad, because terminating these fetuses — at 15 weeks' gestation — was a medical imperative. This has been a white-knuckle pregnancy from Day 1, and had it gone on as it was going, Tina's health would have been in jeopardy, according to her doctor. The fact is, multiple pregnancies are high risk, and they can go bad very suddenly. I wasn't going to allow that, though the fires of hell might beckon.

I also learned another term, referencing the above post. Reduction means selective abortion.

Yep, this is definitely one of the more disturbing stories I’ve read. The attitude that many have toward abortion leads me to conclude that many of these women would probably give far more thought to changing their hairstyle than they would to killing their baby.
Wrong title. How about, “I killed half of our children”?
The front runners gave a cop-out answer, and said it was up to the courts.
But as Bobby Schindler eloquently put it: “....some of them stated that the courts should decide whether or not it was acceptable for an innocent disabled woman to be starved and dehydrated to death.
Wait a second, wasn’t it the courts that made it legal to kill unborn children?....”
Bobby nailed it!
I wish he would run for office.
