All-or-nothing deal, lady. But hey, there's still hope. You could just give birth to all four, then abandon the boys at a fire station.

People like this really do need to die in a dumpster fire...

Something screams fake news about this to me. Any other sources?

Also, her decision to abort only the boys isn't motivated by sexism but because the girls are identical twins. I would say title here is misleading.

Yeah, let's get some confirmation before getting outraged.

Agreed. Caution is always the best response to stories like this.

Right. Nothing is ever motivated by sexism, everyone always has an excuse.

Manipulative title.

The parents can't afford 4 babies, so they will abort 2. There is a set of twin girls, they will go for it and the mom add "i always wanted girls" which doesn't mean At All she doesn't want boy.

The top reddits comments are:

  • tell your family the foetus stop growing (the family seems very conservative), don't tell your future children

  • probably the doctors will choose to abort the weakest and most easily attainable foetus.

yeah recapping the story gives a better picture, the title is misleading

Yeah. The that she is killing them speaks volumes about which she wants.

you never heard anybody say "i would love to have boys" or "I would love to have girls"? Come on...

And then kill two of their children of the opposite gender?

Large births like that can be very dangerous for everyone involved. They usually recommend you remove a few fetus to save the rest

As a father I believe this to be a fake post. There is no way someone would abort two of the feotuses.

I mean, there are a lot of parents who want a certain gender, the genders are different, and if you have a boy there's a way higher chance he'll want to play football and play fights, and if you have a girl, there's a way higher chance she'll like dolls and stuff like that. If you have to abort two of your quadruplets, and you want to play with dolls with your children, it would be better to abort the boys, because there's just a larger chance you'll get to do what you want to.

Yeah... I mean, you don't have to abort two of your quadruplets, but if you want to, then just kill the boys... who wants boys.

But she doesnt want four children, i think in the OP she said she couldnt handle it emotionally/financially.

who wants boys.

I dont want kids but if I did I would prefer boys

And?

I dont want kids but if I did I would prefer boys

So, you would kill any girl children?

PhoebusElpollo•

And?

And what? She didn't want four children, she wanted two, so she wants to abort two of them.

So, you would kill any girl children?

Well, let's start out by saying I don't really consider it killing, and if I don't change my opinion about wanting children, I would want to abort all children I might have, but if my SO was carrying quadruplets and we couldn't handle that, I think I would abort one of both genders, and if we had twins, and we couldn't handle that I would probably prefer to abort the girl.

She doesn't deserve to have any children.

If you are a person who thinks abortion = murder stop reading my comment now, and scroll away.

For those of us that don't think abortion is murder. She wants girls (heavens forbid she have preference) and asked for opinions/wisdom of others. One of the top commenter said rather then choosing by gender between the twin girls and the boy brothers her Dr will probably choose safety and selectively reduce the two near the exit for a healthier pregnancy.

Lets not apply thought crime legislation on her for having a preference.

If they're not people, what difference does it make? If you support abortion rights, you shouldn't have an issue with this.

Yeah, you shouldn't have a problem with selectively aborting males because they are males.

If you believe in abortion rights, then absolutely. They don't exist as a person so what is the issue? BTW, you never answered the question.

Her body, she can decide which children to kill and which not to.

This is nothing to do with mens rights, this is just anti female rights.

bufedadOP•

oh, sure... killing males in the womb because they are males has nothing to do with men's rights.

So? The selective abortion of males is morally correct in the West because life is better as a female.
