Childfreedom

Suffer, The Little Children

Um. “Did not want her cosmetic appearance disfigured” does not go with the photo, somehow.

It’ll probably turn out to be a misunderstanding based on some wacko “only in Utah” twist.

According to the Salt Lake Trib, the surviving twin, a girl, has already been adopted.

If she didn’t want the babies in the first place, why go through with a full-term pregnancy? Oh, never mind, she may have had moral objections to one well-known remedy for “oopses”. (irony mode on).

I just don’t get it.

On a side note – didn’t fail to notice that the law in Utah referenced in the Trib link penalizes women who make “bad” (ie., against Charch teachings) choices when pregnant. It’ll be interesting if there’s ever a case of “in utero child abuse” brought against a clean-living, drug and drink-free LDS lady.

As for me, still happy to be childfree (and lucky I figured it out at a young age).
