Didn't notice that--I wondered about the time frame. Like you, I suspect he would not be added unless it is a picture of him as a billboard for her death movement.
Yes that is what I believe and probably what she believes as well but I can't be totally sure about that.
Excellent point about lack of disclosure.
Lemme guess, the Times would say this was all about her private life and decisions and not about her political positions or involvements. Baloney.
Yes that is what I believe and probably what she believes as well but I can't be totally sure about that.
So you're saying that it's okay with you to "remove" these "merely potential human beings" for any reason at any time up until they are actually born...oops...I mean turn into real, true, living, breathing actual human babies?
I would even venture to guess he felt guilty for his "selfishness."
It's all conditioning.
I hope her boyfriend will soon leave her and find somebody who was worth being a mother. What a truly cold and worthless individual.
Just sent her an e-mail suggesting a topic on her web site titled: Violence against babies! Don't suppose the heartless bitch will respond. I even offered her a case of mayo to ease her mind.

Freep the crud out of her.
Most the most part, lberalism is simply rationalized misbehavior. There is no idealism, contrary to what they claim.
Are the DUhers making this woman a hero yet?
More civilized times.
Now there is zero shame in announcing to the the world, via the New York Times, that you legally killed (OK, she hired an MD hit man) two of your babies and let the third one live so you could love it and raise it.
Dennis, I wonder if she really "loves" the one she spared. It's so common nowadays amongst modern-minded types that they see their children not as children, but merely as objects of gratification with no more intrinsic value that a Monopoly board game. They see their children as pets, playmates, playthings, possessions, status symbols, accessories, everything but children. Eventually, "parents" who think this way lose whatever interest they ever had in their children and completely ignore them, leaving the children to fend for themselves or fobbed off on relatives, nannies, teachers, coaches, anyone but the parents.
well most abortions are done when they're embryos. I think this woman had a reduction at 8 weeks. After that most are done because the fetus very defective or whatever. To me embryos are morally equivalent to sperm and egg. They're both primitive cellular life. Once the fetus attains all human being characteristics it qualifies as a human being to me.
Here's my e-mail to her. Think she'll respond?
Subject: Is it okay to have a baby and still be a feminist?
Dear Amy,
I just read the fabulous article in the NY Times about how you sacrificed your womb for one lucky little boy! How does that jive with being a feminist? Webber is one blessed little boy to have such a wonderful mother as yourself to have offered him the warm environment of your uterus to protect him for nine months. Hopefully, he will have nothing ever go wrong in his little life that you won't be able to control or fix, because, gosh darn it, what if something happens to him when you are earning your big paycheck? Will you possibly have time to take care of him?
Thank the Lord, too, that you won't ever have to live on Staten Island, because you did the practical thing by having two of your babies removed from your womb! I mean, God forbid, your life would be a living hell were you to ever have to stoop so low as to have to live on Staten Island, or ever shop at Costco!! You are so smart, and I am so impressed by your composure to have undergone such a procedure, with nary a quiver about how you will one day explain to your son that it was his good fortune to be the "stand-alone". I'm sure he will be forever grateful that he was such a lucky son-of-a-bitch to have been the one who didn't get offed with death serum injected into his precious little heart!
Sincerely yours,
XXXXX XXXXXXXXX
Columbus, OH
I recommend Amy Richards. No doubt she will get the base really fired up!
Thanks for the ping... I actually really like S.I., though I can't imagine ever leaving the city for it
She was too upset about not being able to fly with triplets in utero.

A few years ago I covertly attended a speech by this man-hating ho's mentor, Ms. Gloria Steinem. In her speech she actually said, very calmly and deliberately, that heterosexual marriage was the basis for all violence and that monotheism was the the root of all evil. It was then I realized that demonic possession took unconventional forms. Although I pray that these people might reform their sinister ways, until that time they remain the enemy of all that is good.
Thanks for answering my question so thoughtfully. Now here's something I think you might be interested in knowing, though perhaps not. From the VERY MOMENT the sperm fertilizes the egg, the genetic makeup will tell you that this is a human being...EVERY characteristic that makes it human vs. any other living organism is attained. It's really simple. Before fertilization, they're just a sperm and an egg with 23 chromosomes each (most of the time). After fertilization - 46 chromosomes - it's a human being. ALL the characteristics are there, all of them, whether or not we have scientifically learned how to "see" them or not. Ask any geneticist if you don't believe me.
At one time, there was a common folk belief (not a Christian one) that the baby wasn't alive until quickening (at about 5 months) so abortion wasn't really murder. In the 19th century, doctors discovered that the baby moves and is alive even before it can be felt by the mother.
If members of a society honestly believe that the baby is not alive, then abortion can be legal without it corrupting society. But if they know its alive, but don't care ... what's next and who's next? Every good reason for abortion is an equally good reason for infanticide and euthanasia. Societies that permit infanticide invariably see their children as mere possessions who can be abused or sold into slavery at the parents' whim.
