I have so many negative thoughts about this “man” and culture that promotes this type of thinking that I can’t even focus them all into one coherent statement.

Two of my sisters are twins and I’m glad they both are around.

I have twin brothers, now 73 years old.
It was not so fun for my parents, as both boys were serious asthmatics prior to their teen years.
It was also not so fun in my early youth with my being seven years younger, and the baby of the family.

Twins run in my family. My grandmother always said it was genetic and ran in certain family lines. I always thought it was a cool thing to give birth to twins. I don’t get this mentality at all.

Was it no fun because they were twins or because they were asthmatics? I admit asthma is no fun at all. Either way I am sure abortion never entered your folk’s mind.

A family in my church has 2 sets of twins, 5 kids total, all 6 and under. I’m pretty sure she was feeling overwhelmed with the 2nd set, but they are loved and welcomed and fawned over at church. When the father gave a testimony and mentioned learning he was going to have another set of twins, he was surprised, yes, but thankful that what they thought were problems in the pregnancy turned out to be twins.

I guess some men are men and some aren’t.

Fraternal twins run in families, identical twins don't.

My cousin had twins, a boy and a girl, but they were IVF.

Not so great for the parent’s pocketbook, but the cool thing about twins is - no hand me downs. Having an older sister, I knew what I would be wearing in two years.

They had to know IVF could produce multiple babies.
Men today are rarely MEN. I blame liberal feminists.

In those days I doubt that they even knew what abortion was, and I doubt that doctors had any way of knowing if a fetus could become asthmatic.
Of course, abortion would never have been a consideration.
I am sure that having two very young asthmatics in the late 30s through the 40s was not fun, but I do not remember any traumatic episodes. I assume that their asthma was manageable.
I remember only the old style orange plastic inhalers.

When I had a daughter in the early 80s, she also became asthmatic, but has pretty much grown out of it.

This man is hateful. I have a twin brother. My father did mention his grandmother was a twin. :)

Let’s face it - America is now a wicked nation.

Sure, there is a remnant of righteousness - but the dominant mainstream culture is wicked.

Leftist Selfishism is a mental disease. They have been fed the lie of the left for so long they are about ready to hack and slash everything to get the promised land.

Of course it doesn’t and cannot exist

I think twins a great. If you have twins you get your kids twice as fast. So if you want six kids you can crank them out in three years. I knew some twins when I was in high school. I took both them to a Valentines banquet at my church. There last name was Show. I thought it was cool to say that dated twin show girls.

Those babies are going to need prayer.

I know a couple who is struggling with infertility and had an adoption setup for twins that fell through in January. They are a Christian couple and would give anything to have a child.

I bet they would take those babies in a heartbeat.
