I have talked to many women who have had abortions and eventually they are unable to rationalize and justify their "choice" any longer and have to face the reality of what they have done.

-a follow-up article on the cold blooded infertility couple.
two too many? sorry, makes no sense to me.
many women have carried multiple births to
full term.
another article posted here today describes
a baby born to crack 25 yrs ago who just
graduated from law school. now that kiddo and
his adoptive parents had many real challenges.
the two sons this couple selected to “reduce”
did not have anything even close, just a higher
risk of autism...that just breaks my heart.
My cousin and his wife are dealing with the consequence of in-vitro fertilization. She had difficulty carrying and after a few miscarriages, they finnaly had a healthy baby boy. So they decided to do it with the remaining embryo’s. The two twin girls were born at 28 weeks, and both continue to struggle. They are now 30 weeks, and my cousin spends every moment at the hospital. I pray for the girls daily, but I struggle with the thoughts that they’re parent’s selfishness, although well intentioned, is resulting in those innocent babies facing a life of challenges. I don’t know what the right answer is, other than prayer.
It's one thing when secular attention junkies and church haters misuse this line, it's inexcusable when an ostensibly christian writer does.
Pet peeve. Otherwise glad to see the piece.
I have a Downs Syndrome grandson. Things like this hurt his soul as well as mine.
I hope that one day they realize how much they have passed along their “value of life” when they are elderly and their child needs to decide what to do with them.
The original story was so heartless. They put five embryos in, knowing that there were five lives. Yet, they agreed to kill several if they didn’t die off themselves. They should have only placed two embryos in to begin with. If not, the article never mentioned the woman’s life was at stake. If she could have survived the pregnancy on bed rest, she should have done it for the children she put in danger. The worst part of his article was his callousness and their choice to kill their boys because they might not be “perfect”. All people are created in the image of God. Therefore, while with sin, all are perfect.
I still believe the following...
The medical industry and especially the drug companies want abortion. They make money on the pre-natal tests. The tests that are used to “prophetize” birth defects. You eliminate the kids by abortion that are a result of bad drugs in the mother during pregnancy. This allows drug companies to start to cover-their-a** from all the problems associated with birth control and conception altering practices. Like fertility processes, morning-after pill, abortion induction, etc.
Isn’t there a brand new birth control drug that the FDA just approved without any lengthy study.
There you go.

Shhh! We aren't supposed to know about them, those who later realize what they've done and need to grieve and recover.
A former co-worker celebrated the fact that she 'volunteered' (even when ill, from her hospital bed by phone) to 'counsel' young college women faced with 'unplanned' pregnancies. My friend counseled these young women to have abortions, every time, she bragged and used the 'don't ruin your life' line. Yet she herself had 5 children, 2 of them quite young postponing her college education, living in poverty for quite some time. Which one would she give up? She fought to keep custody of all 5 when her 2nd ex threatened to take 3 of them away and later struggled to help one of her daughters, unable to have kids herself, find a woman willing to give up her own newborn to them. Still amazes me, that she never saw the conflicts of interest. She felt each of her children was precious (true) and raised right, but she didn't trust college girls to raise even one 'right'.
How many of us could pass the 'disabled' kids mantra ourselves, whether with our own children or ourselves? Could Neil, the 'dad'? Is he 'perfect'? Scary.
I wonder if Neil looks at his 'perfect' daughters and thinks of his sons at all? He was all freaked out about autism, being an older dad. I know two such young men, one a friend of my son's, one a student. They add richness to all our lives.
