Rebirth flame Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 the part that gets me the most is that she just [i]doesn't care[/i]... Her boyfriend is sitting there, thinking 3 heartbeats will be reduced to 1, and her reaction seems like "you jerk. Who cares...?" it may not have been what she intended to imply, but that is what i thought it sounded like... It's so sad that the respect for Human Life has just fallen so much. On this world, society has plummeted the sanctity of creating Life from the stars to the gutter. Our culture has desensitized some peoples hearts to the point that they don't care if they take a human life because having a baby might [i]inconvenience themselves[/i]... stupid greed... paxChristi ~nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeenaBobba Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 That is so sad. First of all, that woman lives in the East Village. To the best of my knowledge, the Village is pretty darn expensive. She must make decent, if not really good, money. It's horrible that her house and her time is more precious to her than two human beings. If only she knew that human beings are priceless. The part that got to me the most was when she said she thinks her decision will come back to haunt her one day. I truthfully think it will. I wonder if she'll ever tell her son that he could've been the one she killed had he not been three minutes older than his brothers (or sisters) and a single child. I don't even know how I'd feel if my mom told me I was a triplet, and that my twin brothers or sisters were aborted. I wouldn't feel loved, I think, if I knew I was allowed to live only by chance. Looking into her son's eyes, I think she'll certainly regret killing two of her children one of these days. God bless, Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marchjen6 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Honestly, I HOPE and PRAY that she regrets this someday. Killing two of your own children is not something that ANYONE should be able to live with, even without considering the spiritual aspect. I believe that the Lord will force her to see the error of her ways and repent. My the Lord have mercy on everyone involved and may they repent and ask His forgiveness.

VeraMaria Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 This made me sick. The *go-cry* kind of sick. When selfishness kills the most innocent of human beings ::deep breaths:: This is drawing a lot of media attention. Not only from pro-lifers but elsewhere. [url="http://www.nationalreview.com/jgraham/graham200407220839.asp"]http://www.nationalreview.com/jgraham/graham200407220839.asp[/url] [quote]Triplet-Tale Trauma New York Times unwittingly gives the pro-life movement new life. So now we know the lowest level of feminist hell, and there, in the white-hot center, stands the Costco. This was a surprise to everyone who believed Wal-Mart to be the apex of retail evil, but villains are easily replaced and we have a new one in Costco, thanks to the musings of Amy Richards in the New York Times Magazine. Richards, of course, is the freelance writer who unwittingly deflated the "pro-choice" movement Sunday with her cheerful account of how she decided, upon hearing she was pregnant with triplets, to dispose of one or two of them. Unmarried, and possessed of a "five-story walk-up in East Village," Richards considered the trauma of triplets for, oh, possibly 30 or 40 seconds, before asking her doctor what could be done about the problem at hand. This was, she said, her "immediate reaction." Unfortunately for two of the babies she was carrying, it was Richards's delayed reaction, as well, and it intensified as she spent a day contemplating a life of "shopping only at Costco and buying big jars of mayonnaise." Upon reading this line, I immediately e-mailed the essay to a friend who shops at Costco and who can occasionally be prevailed upon to buy me a big bag of teriyaki chicken breasts for only $12. I'd love a Costco membership, but I am fundamentally opposed to stores that make me pay for the privilege of shopping there, and I don't want to spend the money. (That $45 membership fee can buy a lot of under-the-table chicken breasts.) Richards would shudder to learn that there's an even lower level of domestic hell — women who want to shop at Costco but can't afford it. If she'd known of us, she would have aborted all three, I suppose, and immediately gotten back on the pill. So I send the story to Laura with the note, "Just so you know.... There are people who find our lives repulsive." She's a conservative, a Mormon, and I knew she'd be offended. But as the day wore on, and the essay made its way across the Internet and approached "most e-mailed" status, a curious thing happened: No one I knew, conservative or liberal, came down on Richards's side. The pro-lifers, of course, turned purple and required emergency-room care. This was to be expected. But the fence-sitters — the squishy middle that see nothing wrong with lifestyle abortions up until 12 weeks or so, but get more uncomfortable the bigger the baby gets — reported feeling "sick" after reading Richards's story. Even strident pro-choicers were uncomfortable with the decision she'd made. A pro-abortion friend who works in the newsroom of a major metropolitan daily sent the piece to a handful of her liberal co-workers and, to a woman, they were "appalled" by it. The essay reads like a parody published by The Onion or the Christian equivalent, The Door. It's what I would have written in college had someone assigned me an 800-word parody that exposes the shallow and the callow of the thirty-something population today. "I'd have to give up my life!" Richards exclaims to her boyfriend and father of the triplets, who, to his credit, appeared a bit uneasy about the swiftness and ease of her decision. (Presumably, they never married, even after their son was born; Richards never refers to him as anything other than a boyfriend.) "I'll never leave my house because I have to care for these children!" she laments. "I'm going to have to move to Staten Island!" Yeah, Amy, and honey? I would have told you — although you have probably figured it out by now — you're also going to have to — horrors! — wake up...unwillingly...during the night! And — brace yourself — you're going to have to remove anything breakable and/or poisonous within a toddler's reach! You will have to install child-safety locks! Put a car seat in the Corvette! Pretend to be interested in water Pokemon! You will be sneezed on, and bled on, and thrown-up on...the indignities know no bounds. Worst of all, you will occasionally — maybe even frequently — catch a cold or even strep throat from that ungrateful little monster in your care. Children are parasites, really, from the moment they attach to your uterus and smell of elderberries your nutrients away, and if you're lucky, this will continue for only 18 years and nine months, but usually it's much longer than this. Some years ago, The New Yorker published a satirical piece entitled "Shiftless Little Loafers," in which the writer complained about how children do nothing but take and contribute nothing to better the world. One wonders if Richards read it and took it seriously. You read her litany of complaints about How Motherhood Will Ruin My Life, and you want to shake her, and say, "But why? Why? Why are you getting yourself pregnant when it's clear that you are not prepared to make any sacrifices for them?" Richards seems typical of the woman who is determined to Have It All, even when she doesn't really want it all. She wants the Hallmark moments...the "experience" of having a child, which, in this Costco-is-the-enemy worldview, is just one more thing on the Cosmo checklist of things to do before you're 40. (Have a one-night stand with someone you met on an airplane! Buy a canoe! Learn another language! Have a child! But just one! Any more will ruin your figure!) Richards doesn't say how old her son is, but assuming this account is recent, I'm figuring he's either a newborn, or about a year old. As the sole caregiver for an almost-two-year-old (and her three older siblings), I'd love to think that she's already regretting her decision, but I know the opposite is true. Each night she is awakened by a cry, every interruption in her workday, every dollar drained from her checking account for diapers or formula, she is telling herself, "What if it had been three? I couldn't have done it. I did the right thing." But she didn't, of course. She did the easy thing. And she can tell herself for the rest of her life, that it was the right decision for her...after all, abortion is all about choice, isn't it? And you know, it probably was the right decision...for her. But 20 or 30 years from now, when her adult son comes to her and asks — as he surely will one day — why she aborted his siblings, I wish I could be a fly on the wall. Because it may have been her children, her "choice," but in making it, she aborted her son's brothers or sisters. And some day, he, too, may believe in "fetal reduction"; after all, children tend to assume the morality, or lack thereof, of their parents. But, it also could be that, given a choice, he would have preferred to have had a couple of brothers or a sister, than the smallest jar of mayonnaise on the block, purchased at D'Agostino. Even if his mother was stressed. — Jennifer Nicholson Graham, an NRO contributor, is a writer in Virginia.

MorphRC Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 oy . I dont know how people dare call themselves human when they support abortion. Why not give them a born child and say here you go, kill it, you killed an unborn child, whats the difference!

VeraMaria Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 It's kicking the pro-choice movement. This and the "I had an abortion" T-Shirts are getting a lot of media attention, and negative for once. Maybe people are waking up. :angry: Anyway, thanks for being here when I feel like rambling, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
