The Half Abortion: Only Keeping One Twin :(
In today’s publication of the New York Times, there is an article entitled The Two-Minus-One Pregnancy. It tells of the growing number of women who are pregnant with twins and choose to abort only one of the fetuses, and allowing the other to survive. In other words, these women are having a “half abortion.”
According to the article, New York’s Mount Sinai Medical Center performed 101 abortions last year; 38 of those pregnancy terminations involved a mother pregnant with twins who decided to only abort one unborn child. And that’s just one medical center in the entire country.
What is it about the idea of a half abortion that somehow seems more difficult to grasp than a “normal” abortion? The immediate thing that comes to mind is that it is an ultimate case of “playing God.” As if a “normal” abortion wasn’t already giving one person the authority to choose another human being’s ability to live, a half abortion gives a person the ability to decide which unborn child deserves to live and which one deserves to die. That’s playing God, times two.
Is there any justification for a half abortion?

My god this story is sad..Imagine if you were the twin and had your other half killed. fkkkkkkkkkkk

It's not your choice.
If people don't have the means to support two children and are better off with one, then they have every right to do so.

How about having both... and giving one up for adoption?Originally Posted by RealityKings
Jesus.... why is abortion or keeping the child ALWAYS seen as the only 2 viable options??
-
11-20-2012, 07:32 AM #6Pretty much this. And for those that scream adoption or foster care, there are likely just as many horror stories as success if not more when it comes to that.Originally Posted by RealityKings

11-20-2012, 07:33 AM #9Refer to my last post. Are you familiar with the foster care system? I am, firsthand and ill tell you that that's NOT something i'd want a kid to go through ever. Not all kids that are given up are adopted, FYI.Originally Posted by nvrstopworking

There are SO many orphans who are not adopted and you just want these people to keep breeding and throwing their children into the same circle.Originally Posted by nvrstopworking
Let the ones in that circle get adopted first, poor kids haven't had a proper shot at life yet. It's not fair for the child.Liverpool FC, YNWA, JFT96.

IDK to me human life is human life and each human life is very valuable, even if the mother decides not to be responsible for her actions.

As a twin, this is fuking insane. How the hell would you view your mother when you got older?
I also want twins when I have kids, so this seems even more absurd to me.

Phuck can you imagine finding out you only survived to live life because your twin was aborted? Holy phuck that would seriously ruin you. Seems like worst case scenario you should have both and put one up for adoption, even then that would phuck them up if they ever found out, but better than killing one. You're already pregnant, whether it's 1 baby or 2 the process is pretty much the same.

every time you do something wrong your mom would say she aborted the wrong twin.

how is that a dumb defense? it's probably a major reason for abortions, not being able to afford raising a child at the time. my mom is pretty much pro-life, except for the rape/mother's life in danger situations, but even she says she couldn't have imagined the struggles of giving birth to more than one child at once.Originally Posted by SuccessfulBrah
what makes this feel weird is that it makes picture yourself in this situation, finding out you had a twin who your mother chose to abort. whereas you can't really imagine yourself having been aborted, since you wouldn't be around to think about it.

Hopefully they will never tell their child. I dont know how awful it would feel to have realized I was the lucky one that didnt get removed and that I also could have had a brother that looked just like me.
Im not against abortion due knowing there are MANY factors involved with deciding if you want to bring a child or children into the world.Carb Mal-absorption, no breads, sugary snacks, rice, pasta...live off of 30-40g a day.

how bout you all stop being a bunhc of whiny aborted crybabies
generally when you want to have a kid, you expect to get a kid. Not 2. Not 5. This isn't the lottery who the **** wants 2 kids right out the bat?
You are all the same people that bitch that the world is over populated, theres too many useless and fat people around and all that dumb s.hit.
the rest of trillion siblings ended up in a tissue, would you cry for them?
harden the f.uck up.

Unless there's a serious medical issue with carrying two fetuses to term, that's pretty fuked up.
Why yes Billy, you had a twin, but we decided that would just be too much so we aborted him.
