It's a wonder this woman was able to get admitted to a grad program, given her poor reasoning ability. It's not uncommon to see mothers who have aborted encourage daughters to do the same. Go check out the "I am Dr. Tiller" website. Many of the posters there are post-abortive women working in the abortion industry. BTW, nice blog Andrea! this NY times piece was an exercise in rampant rationalization.

I'm shocked that she considers the father as "stepping up", but then tells us that he is encouraging abortion. Huh? What a sad, selfish decision that young woman has made.

This creates a climate where it becomes a NORM to discriminate against pregnant women and new mothers, because, if they had any sense at all, they would put their career ahead of their zygotes. This is where so many individual decisions create of climate of rampant discrimination, justify it, and grow it. And women, as well as the future generation, are crushed beneath the wheels of this expectation. And this is seen, by our secular society, to be as it should be. It is going to take as much hard work, and as much individual participation, to turn this around as it took to put it in place. Good, hard, "damn the torpedos and full steam ahead" activism. Don't be complacent in PEI.

The thing is that as far as I could tell she was looking for an excuse to not have to deal with being pregnant or a baby. People offered her every resource a young single mother could ask for (so she could keep her baby). She must be pretty well off to not qualify for any kind of aid or assistance. She doesn't want to put her child up for adoption. She wants to fight for her child but not give them to a family who would love and raise that baby and basically give them the life she claims she can't. It was very ironic that a weight had been lifted once she decided to kill her child. Shouldn't killing your child that you claim to be attached to cause some sort of guilt or pain? I am very disappointed that people practically applauded her for killing her child. It would have been hard to be a mother and a grad student. It would have been hard to give her baby up. But let's face it contrary to the feel good society we've tried to make parenting is hard. Life is hard. There is no perfect time or perfect way. She didn't think about that little life inside her. I don't feel sorry for her at all. Her quick fix feel good solution is appalling. I saw that article when it came out.

One woman even chimed in that she had just spent thousands of dollars on fertility procedures and terminated the resulting child because he or she had Down's. How did this happen? We so seemlessly have already entered the age of designer children and unapologetic eugenics. Her comment that she could not give her child up for adoption, but could kill it is just so incredibly selfish. And then to bring up someone else's children in Africa not getting a mosquito net because she was not in her Master's program? Well, let's just abort all the children in Africa - there lives aren't worth living anyways right? That is the logical conclusion. If being the child of a busy single career mom is not worth living, certainly life in malaria-stricken poverty isn't. And why is the official feminist movement not focussed on making the world a more friendly place for pregnant women? Why can't colleges defer admittance to a program for a year if a woman is pregnant? Isn't this the ultimate example of the "Patriarchy"? One thing I love about PEI is that this issue is very much on the forefront. Our local paper features letters on abortion at least weekly - which are overwhelmingly pro-life. At our March for Life there were Liberal and PC MLAs present. There is no abortion services at all here and if you want to make that choice you must contemplate it during your travel and then after making your case to a panel of doctors in NB (unless you can afford to further enrich Mr. Morgentaler). I know of so many college-aged women (acquaintances) who got unexpectedly pregant during university and kept the baby. All are very left-wing by my standards.
