Just because you don't want to have to "deal" with taking a birth control pill does not mean that you get a "Get out of trouble free" card.

Well, to be fair it wasn't that she was pregnant (with just one kid), which she said (and proved) she was willing to deal with, it was that she was pregnant with
triplets. It's not like they didn't want to get pregnant, it's that they didn't want to get pregnant with three kids all at once. And I kind of have to respect that - I mean, on top of having three children to take care of all of a sudden, being financially strapped on top of it because you have to give up your income, and having your lifestyle completely change in a way that one baby wouldn't necessitate...I have to sympathize with her. I find it makes me really uncomfortable choosing to abort two babies and keep one, but it's her decision, not mine, to make, and I don't have to like it. I don't find it irresponsible as much as vaguely unsettling.
