The abortion debate brought home (Barf)

And how is the word disenfranchise connected to abortion? I suppose you could say sacrificing your child is the ultimate “vote” for abortion “rights”.

how is the word disenfranchise connected to abortion

To leftists, "disenfranchised" means "not having everything the way I want it all the time."

Normal people call that, "Life."

[RKBA Democrat]

“The phrase “depraved indifference” comes to mind.”

I think the term “eugenics” comes up as well. Not to mention “depravity”, “psychosis” and “evil.”

[Tax-chick]

And “possessed by demons.” And “Your brothers’ blood cries out to me from the field.”

[Tax-chick]

I don’t see how that can be a recent picture, since he says he’s 47. And what’s that on his head?

RE: “she could try adoption.”

True enough. I myself have qualms about the fertility treatment industry. But try telling this to couples who want a child of their own and know the means is out there.

[Tax-chick]

One could try telling them that they don’t have to plan in advance on killing some of their children, as the people in the article apparently did. If the woman believes she can carry only one child to term, then she should have only one child implanted.

Dan, this column was a really, really bad idea. I’ll tell you why. A few years from now, one or both of your girls is going to come home crying and blub, “Daddy! Somebody told me we used to have brothers, but you and Mommy killed them!” Have fun explaining that one, my friend.

Probably make-up and plastic surgery cause him to "look" younger than 47. It would seem that this man is full of pride and vanity.

Although, I will say with unabashed pride that I look quite a bit younger than my 47 years. :^)

That’s totally what I was thinking. They choose to put five little tiny babies in her, and then kill off two of them. They’re nuts! And completely self absorbed.

[weegee]

He is pro-choice, it sounds like he and his wife chose the sex of the babies and destroyed those that they didn’t “want”.

Maybe in the future he’ll be able to determine eye/hair color too.

Decisions decisions.

[mockingbyrd]

Still, I had reservations about bringing girls into the world now, when forces seemed to be aligning to disenfranchise them

He wonders if he should of killed them because they might have a slightly harder time offing their kids than he did.....this guy cannot be for real.

[varyouga]

Some people were just not meant to reproduce...

[Tax-chick]

I think I’ll tell myself it’s fiction ... because I don’t want to believe that people like this exist!

[Tax-chick]

I’d never have known you were 47 :-). You type like a much younger man!

[PackerBronco]

I know a young woman who desperately wants a child. Doctors told her that if she tried fertility treatments she would have to be prepared for a “reduction” since her health would not permit carrying more than one fetus.

Ah, so desparately wanting a child is like desperately wanting a new car, eh? Hey, you gotta have the child right? And so if you have to off a couple of extra kids to get the model you want, well that's just a choice you gotta make because you're "desperate" or something.

LOL Good one. Thanks for the chuckle.

[Tax-chick]

You’re welcome. Someone once told me that I “posted like a redhead,” which I took as a compliment.

[DuncanWaring]

This guy doesn't want boys, because they might be autistic ... he's reluctant to have girls because of the terrible world they'll be born into ... What the heck does he want? There aint' no third choice here.

Maybe the fact that he and his wife had such trouble conceiving on their own suggests that perhaps God thought they wouldn't be ideal parents.

[Boanarges]

Proverbs 6: 16-19

“There are six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to him; Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD; a heart that plots wicked schemes, feet that runs swiftly to evil, The false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers”

This couple is bent on crossing GOD in every way humanly possible. A day of reckoning soon approaches.
