More abortion stories
I don’t know if I am looking for these stories, or if for some reason they’re just popping up all over the place. There’s this story, which seems hard to believe (via Trudeaupia),
The Perth Sunday Times reports: A Perth abortion clinic objected to plans for a childcare centre on a neighbouring property because the sight of children might upset its patients.
…and then this incredible story on culling a multiple pregnancy, told with such matter of fact coldness that it’s amazing the woman has feelings.
I looked at Peter and asked the doctor: ‘’Is it possible to get rid of one of them? Or two of them?’’ The obstetrician wasn’t an expert in selective reduction, but she knew that with a shot of potassium chloride you could eliminate one or more…’’This is why they say it’s the woman’s choice, because you think I could just carry triplets. That’s easy for you to say, but I’d have to give up my life.’’ Not only would I have to be on bed rest at 20 weeks, I wouldn’t be able to fly after 15. I was already at eight weeks. When I found out about the triplets, I felt like: It’s not the back of a pickup at 16, but now I’m going to have to move to Staten Island. I’ll never leave my house because I’ll have to care for these children. I’ll have to start shopping only at Costco and buying big jars of mayonnaise.
