I'm trying to recall the details of the editorial column in the New York Times a while back, but only the general outline of the story comes to mind. Briefly, the writer recounted a decision he and his wife made to terminate a troubled late-term pregnancy rather than give their child a few moments of life after birth. They felt the child kicking in the womb and actually gave him a name, even as they sent him off to the abortionist for execution. Afterwards, they made up all sorts of excuses to rationalize their selfishness. It was the very antithesis of this story--as if there were a Red Zone and a Blue Zone way of dealing with these things.
