2 for 1 abortion-Mr. & Mrs.Dan Neil

In the LA Times, I read about Mr. & Mrs. Dan Neil's 2 for 1 abortion. What a deal for them. Go in with "four thriving fetuses" and come out with two. I'm actually surprised that I haven't been numb by now to these stories of coawardice and selfishness. Nope, the stories still sicken me.
The couple wanted children badly, Dan Neil claims. They obviously decided that having children was their right so they went the route of un-natural means to concieve. Perhaps, God knew they would kill their children and this was why they couldn't get pregnant the natural way?Nonetheless, that is pure conjecture on my part. What is important are the lives of the two Neil boys, who were unlucky enough to be "chosen" for "reduction", a convenient euphemism for being put to death. What could be worse than being killed by one's own parents? I recognize Mrs. Neil's lamentation over killer stretch-marks, and a high-risk pregnancy. But, when one puts oneself in danger by having multiple IVF "fetuses" aka "babies" put into ones uterus...well, one must take the consequences into consideration. Oh, forgive me, the Neil's certainly did take that into consideration: Dan Neil admits to being informed about the risks, but reduction of their fetuses didn't bother them. How can these people be so glib, so selfish and so proud of their decision to kill two of their children because they were boys? Mr. Neil admitted that there was nothing wrong with them. He just wanted to name a child after his mother, so they needed the girl "fetuses". I wonder how long it will be before the girl fetuses become aware that they are siblings to boy fetuses? Will the Neils' tell them? Or will the Neils' clam up because they can't explain to their "girl fetuses" that they chose to kill their brothers?

I pray that the girls will live and grow up to be healthy and loved. My fear is that something will go wrong and another "reduction" will happen. What if one of the girls shows signs of having dark hair and the Neils' like blond-haired babies?

This culture of death is practically unbelieveable. Hundreds of years from now, people will look back on these times and wonder how we got so depraved as to kill our own children. This Neil story is indicative of the type of selfishness that fuels the evil in the world today.
