Amy Richards, a 34 year old urban professional living in Manhattan with her boyfriend, recently found that she was pregnant with triplets. She made the horrifyingly casual decision to kill two of the babies in the womb through a procedure known as "selective reduction". In this case it meant injecting potassium chloride into the healthy hearts of two children whose only crime was to exist at an inconvenient time in their mother's life.
After the "procedure", she thought it appropriate to tell the whole world about her experience and to reassure us that "everything's fine."
So glad to hear you're okay, Miss Richards.
Michelle Malkin remarks: "I can only imagine how her surviving son will feel when he grows up and learns about the fate of his siblings."
Will you be the one to tell him, Miss Richards, or will he stumble across it one day in the New York Times archives, or will he hear it from some total stranger? As he struggles to understand what happened, the realization will slowly dawn on him that he could just as easily have been one of the two, and that even if he had been selected, his mother still would have said that "everything's fine."
