The abortion debate brought home He and his wife have always been pro-choice; recently, they were forced to make the Choice. By Dan Neil May 6, 2007
MY WIFE AND I just had an abortion. Two, actually. We walked into a doctor's office in downtown Los Angeles with four thriving fetuses — two girls and two boys — and walked out an hour later with just the girls, whom we will name, if we're lucky enough to keep them, Rosalind and Vivian. Rosalind is my mother's name.
We didn't want to. We didn't mean to. We didn't do anything wrong, which is to say, we did everything right. Four years ago, when Tina and I set out on this journey to have children, such a circumstance was unimaginable. And yet there I was, holding her hand, watching the ultrasound as a needle with potassium chloride found its mark, stopping the heart of one male fetus, then the other, hidden in my wife's suffering belly....

My wife had to be hospitalized at 20 weeks and again at 24. My son made it fine. Pregnancies are often difficult, assuming the sky is falling every time there’s something wrong is being hysterical.
Good grief!
These two are sociopaths....
..I shudder for those little girls.
Abortion is truly the work of the Devil. These people are so sick, so deceived, so evil!
Well, gol darn. When the babies are born maybe they can decide if they like the color of their eyes, or the shape of their ears, and then just eliminate the one they don’t like. Or maybe they could just wait a few years until they know how they do in school. Then, wham, they can eliminate the one who won’t be able to qualify for Harvard. Perfection only, you see. Didn’t someone with a name like Hitler have this in mind? Or maybe it was Hitlery... gee, can’t seem to recall.
Fact is our physiology means that ALL pregnancies are "high" risk. Women and children die in single pregnancies as well as with twins or more. So I humbly submit that, by his own justification, this man didn't go far enough to "protect" his wife from the dangers involved.
So they say. And they never said what they were and whether or not this procedure took care of those complications. It could have been something as simple as dehydration from morning sickness which would not change with the slaughter of two babies. I simply don’t see how the number of babies makes a difference in a pregnancy at that stage of development.
-unaborted ADORABLE clumps of cells! It’s almost summer! LOL
i felt a wave of nausea when i read it. i couldn’t live with myself. people can justify anything.
This is the legacy of the democrat party ... the dead soul democrat party which will sacrifice any number of human beings if it empowers the democrat party at the ballot box, and judging by how many americans vote for these serial slaughter enablers/defenders, America is now in the shitter awaiting the flush as yet another heathenized nation in the History of this planet.
But what is technically possible is not for that very reason morally admissible
I have a problem with this. I am totally against abortion, but whenever the Vatican says things like this I can’t help but recall the previous Pope’s artificial hip and heart valve. Just why are medical advances that help a Pope OK but not medical advances to avoid pregnancies altogether, or help infertile couple have children? This seems to incongruous to me.
Now they fight over the disposition of the 2 remaining frozen embryos.
-I feel sorry for the two girls. Sad.
..but your posts make me sad.
It was a hardship carrying the triplets to full term - the mother had to spend most of her pregnancy off her feet, and her blood pressure would occasionally go through the roof. The triplets' health was in constant jeopardy. The father carried a full load of career and family duties. The older kids carried quite a bit of a load too. Friends and fellow church members pitched in. It was a very taxing time for the whole family. Finally the triplets were born, named and immediately baptized.
Two died later that day, and the third passed on a couple of days later. They were mourned and laid to rest near other members of the family. Today, thirty years later, they are still remembered as integral members of the family, are visited and brought flowers, and their memory can bring a tear to the eyes of those who loved them.
To the aborters among us, this experience would probably be seen as a complete and disgusting waste of time, health, emotion and money. To those involved, it was, and continues to be, an act of love and devotion. God calls His own to love and sacrifice, and this wonderful family lives their lives in the shadow of His wing. They are truly blessed and are the best people I have known on this earth. It is sad to think of the blessing scorned by the author of this article.
What a sicko. Try it like this. What if a madman was holding his family hostage, claiming that he would kill all of his 4 children and possibly the mother if he didn’t kill 2 of them himself. This is like him being PROUD of killing 2 of the kids himself and handing the madman the corpses to forestall any harm to the rest of his family. That’s nothing to be proud of.
Wow! Now that is some dark stuff!
Prayers for the little boys that he killed.
