The Pain of Selective Reduction

An article appears at American Thinker relating the damage caused by a selective reduction abortion.   The author’s  wife had IVF treatment which  resulted in her bearing triplets.   She decided that she could only keep one of them and opted  for the selective reduction procedure.  The author tried to pursuade his wife not to go through with this but she was adamant.

The procedure involved injecting two of the embryos with potassium chloride,  guided by ultrasound.  Anonymous Dad watched the screen as this was done,  and witnessed the aversion responses and deaths of these two triplets.   Contrary to the visible evidence, the fertility doctor insisted that the deaths were painless.

From Anonymous: “I pray to G-d every day to take those two innocents to Him, to welcome them, and I ask them every day for forgiveness.  As I will every day for the rest of my life.  I don’t know what accommodation my wife will make mentally and spiritually.  That is her business, and a burden her conscience must bear.”

These words indicate a marriage on the rocks.  This is a couple that needs to get with Project Rachel or some other post abortion counseling agency if they want their marriage to survive.  One wonders how many divorces result from the  differing beliefs of spouses about the value of human life.

Anonymous Dad contributed his article likely  as an act of repentance, and also in the hope that others could be dissuaded from abortions.  Prayers for his success.
