A "Choice" Snapshot

This piece in the New York Times details the journey of a couple who decides to "keep it" -- that is, not to have an abortion -- despite their concerns abougt becoming parents.

What's missing is any discussion about whether killing the nascent life is wrong. We hear about whether they want the baby, what it will mean for their finances and career -- but any mention of what it might mean for the baby is conspicuously lacking.

Apparently, the mother decided she wanted to have the baby before the father did. Seems to validate the fact that abortion is actually a more important "right" for men than it is for women; men have a relatively costless chance to evade the consequences of the sex they have, while the women live with the physical and emotional fallout of an abortion, if they "choose" to have one.

This mention of the effects of an abortion on the woman is usually of course forgotten. The baby is killed. Some part of the mother must also die. But the consequences may take time to show. But the Left/MSM do not want to hear about any negatives that their various agenda creates.
