No she won't. Not in the context you're thinking of, anyway.
Yep. She took fertility drugs, alright. What ya wanna bet?
I loudly expressed my outrage about this article among my NAARL-supporting in-laws this morning.
Working on adopting a kid puts this sort of thing in an entirely different perspective, my wife and I agreed. "Oh boo hoo, birth control makes my tummy hurt, boo hoo, I live on a fifth-floor walk-up, boo hoo, my budget will be pinched, let's kill off two of them."
What I found interesting was the doctor's refusal to allow the boyfriend to witness the hired killing of his unborn children. You can have "choice," apparently, as long as you don't look too hard at what you're choosing.
I'm sure we would all agree that such a scenario would be terribly difficult to deal with - but to me an intra-abdominal pregnancy is the same as an ectopic, the baby cannot survive to term and it would likely kill the mother if allowed to progress. What a sad thing...the handful of women I know who have had ectopics had wanted their babies very much and terminating them to save their own lives and future fertility was a crushing thing nonetheless.
If only science could find a way to transplant the little one into the uterus...until then, there is no other choice in such a situation.
I was referring specifically to Laura's concern for her own children in utero, but your point is well-taken. I wonder if anyone has asked her lately, or if she has expressed her opinion on this subject more recently than your citation. I do find it troubling, as I'm sure you do as well, that some if not many pro-life politicians have pro-choice wives. That has always bothered me; but as long as the candidate is pro-life, what choice do we have? The alternative is much worse.
Sterilize liberals should be our mantra.
So, she doesn't have to "give up her life[style]" for one kid? She had no business having child(ren).
I pity this child growing up. "Mommy really has to work, Honey. Go play with the nanny"
What a murdering wench.
Excellent idea!
In intra-abdominal or ectopic pregnancies, the unborn child falls into the category of rodef, one pursuing the mother to kill her.
Great! I really hope her mailbox is chock full of responses from this article!
I think I'm going to be sick....
Intellectually I know what you say is true, but with an ectopic the ectopic (at least the ones I've seen) they were usually earlier (smaller) and not removed intact.
It was a lot more bothersome to me to see an about 3.5 inch or so formed (and still moving) being removed.
You're talking to one actually from a long time ago and I know plenty others.
Of course there are men who a) don't care anyway or b) do want the woman to "get rid of it" but that was not what I was adressing nor was that the gist of this article. In this article the man is the only one described as maybe not wanting this and is told to leave.
Now I'm not pointing out this to you specifically but as you know I am indeed very old school and do hold opinions that indeed do have exceptions and I do sometimes generalize but I can remember when it was okay to do that without having to equivocate every alternative example.
I don't beat up chicks as a rule but the worst fight i ever saw was in 12th grade between two huge black chicks who tore each other's clothes off and stabbed one another with pencils.
I think abortion is killing and in the end unless a man is holding a gun to the woman's head.....she and the abortionist are doing the killing. So much for kinder and gentler.....nearly 40 million dead babies later and not one ever aborted by a pregnant man.
just calling a spade a spade...can I say that?
lots of folks are to blame for infanticide but in the end it's mom's "choice" almost always.
after thinking about it and responding to DOIJV, I now think in hindsight this double murderer should have hired a handmaiden for her beau.
....in fact, I know more than a few gals including some spoiled shop and tennis only soccer moms on my street who could use one as well.
...we could end up that way one day....I truly know a few DINK couples where I betcha the woman would consider it if the scorn factor were absent.
Maybe you didn't read the entire thread, but if you did, you may have noticed that I defended the man in this story (as much as he could be defended). And I think that ultimately, yes, it is the woman who does the real deciding.
The "hit me" thing was a joke. I'm not a-scared of you, wardaddy. ; )
Do you mean the whole thread?
In reading this story again, I find this woman unbelievable. How much could a nanny have possibly cost? I'm not a betting woman but I'll say she and boyfriend don't stay together long.
I am harmless and have been ruled by your gender voluntarily for several decades.
Oddly, now with 2 manchildren in the household growing up and strutting around, I've found I have to be more alpha than I used to with only daughters.
Dad has to be a loving hombre for young lads or else they will run the house in short order.
I'm taking the 4 year old with me on business scouting for two nights tommorow and leaving the 18 month old with mom. Hope he doesn't get too homesick away from mommy. Mommies are everything at that age no doubt.
Evil woman.
Not that I would know, but I hear raising boys is harder than raising girls.
