I know that the standard response as a male is for me to say it's not my body, not my business, but my brain doesn't allow me to just switch off on certain subjects.
To me, that couple's actions were inhuman.
I wouldn't call them murderers but I wouldn't give them the time of day either.
What the fuck. I am tempted to go to the insult thread and look up every insult I can find. I think the comment is so stupid that I am tempted to call you a wanker even though I think it's creepy when Americans say it.
IVF, you fertilatize eggs. Usually too many in case some are defective. Then you choose the ones you want and and toss the rest. That's how that works.
Unless mean they were alread so many weeks along and terminated when the found out the gender. In which case I still think you're comment is really stupid. If they abort the baby their reasoning makes no difference. Why does it matter if it's because they're just not ready, or because they hate babies, wanted a girl, baby has down syndrome, whatever reason it's still none of your business
