This article including "my wife's suffering belly" is supposed to build an argument against banning the skull crushing procedure in late term abortions. IMHO it fails, but it does show how the LA Times and the MSM try to make a compassionate, emotional argument for their position.

stopping the heart of one male fetus, then the other,

I should have paid more attention to the "barf" notice. There went my coffee and toast.

I'm going to go sit with my sons now and pray for these miserable, misled people and their children, living and dead.

Anything can be used to justify evil. And human beings are very good at rationalizing the inexcusable.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

LORD HAVE MERCY!!!!!!!!!

This is the definition of cold-blooded, premeditated murder.

May the LORD open their eyes to the sickening brutality they have perpetrated on two fellow human beings.

Dr. Mengele would be proud!

These people are sick in their heads and sick in their hearts.

The only thing that can heal a soul so far gone is Jesus Christ.

“We don’t feel guilty. We don’t feel ashamed. We’re not even really sad”

Then you are monsters.

The physician who performed our reduction asked that her name not be used, for fear that she might be terrorized by some gun-toting antiabortion extremist.

Probably the least of this doctor's problems.

Given that she murders babies for money, and that she has no remorse for it, a “gun-toting antiaborion extremist” will be the LEAST of her worries when the Ultimate Antiaborion Extremist has His say.

So much for abortion being a “personal, private decision between a woman and her doctor”, as the libs are always telling us. Now they’re throwing it in our faces.

And talk about greed! The couple had 5 embryos implanted at the same time. What did they think was going to happen? They were in such a hurry they couldn’t try implanting just 2 at a time?

Feh!

I mean, my wife and I have always been pro-choice, ( from the article)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The only thing a Liberal/Marxist is “pro choice” about is killing babies.

The Marxists/Liberals then want the government to control and dictate every other aspect of our lives.

Hm...A 12 year old is mature enough to “choose” a competent abortionist, but her parents are too stupid to choose a school.

These people make me sick! I call them the Death Eaters!

It seems to me that this article speaks for itself. 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. She passed on the treatment, but it would be hard for me to blame her if she made the opposite decision.

These are real dilemmas that people face every day. You can’t just dismiss them as MSM propaganda. If you disagree with this couple’s choice, then you have to confront the issues directly.

First, this guy is an ‘automobile’ columnist with the LA times. So his view on abortion warrants a column in the newspaper because.....? Second, as you point out, there is no equivalence between what he is talking about and partial birth abortion. Third, the practice of calling partial birth abortion “intact dilation and extraction” doesn’t change the barbaric inhuman nature of the procedure. Perhaps we should start using the term ‘mind-body liberation’ for beheadings.
Finally, as an aside, why was it that they chose to terminate both boys and keep both girls?

I frankly do not believe this article. It fits the pro abortion template to perfectly and hits all the talking points of this group. It even took an obligatory swipe at the second amendment and our right to bear arms. I think this whole damn article is false! I think the author is a liar.

It is also very convenient that if challenged on the article the author will say he must protect the privacy and life of the mother and father from “gun toting right wing anti abortion fanatics.” /Sarcasm

Well, Dan, when you are old and inconvenient to those daughters you will be rearing with your utilitarian values, you might be given the needle and similarly dispatched. They certainly won’t want to be encumbered with such an elderly mother and father when they are 40.

Did anyone else notice the term “reduction” used here? Interesting euphemism for infanticide.

Words have power.

“We didn’t want to. We didn’t mean to. We didn’t do anything wrong, which is to say, we did everything right.”

Sure you did, pal. I guess that’s how you’re going to rationalize your complicity in the butchering of two of your own children.

“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.”

You can’t make this stuff up, folks.

The leftmedia is nothing if not instructive. Parents, this is exhibit “A” of why you don’t want your children instructed in the socialists “values,” such as they are.

This article is about the equivalent of Dr. Mengele describing with pride and glee the “medical experiments” he carried out on his Jewish captives. Absolutely sickening.

“...if we’re lucky enough to keep them...”

sounds like he is talking about pets, not people. I think they both feel VERY guilty, and he is trying to deal with it by writing this piece. Pray that they both (along with the doctor) repent.
