In an article Feb. 7, Nadya Suleman, the single mother of the octuplets, is quoted about her frozen embryos, “Those are my children, and that’s what was still available and I used them.”
Suleman, already the mother of six children, ages 2 to 7 years old, is pro-life. She could not leave those babies in the deep freeze or, heaven forbid, destroy them.
Across the country, many are angry with her (even sending death threats), because they see her as bleeding the system.
Where are all those who support life? They claim to be spokespeople for the unborn, who would be destroyed by abortion. The octuplets need a voice. The pro-life advocates should be uniting to make sure those babies, and Suleman’s previous children, are protected. Of the older six children, three have some form of disability, and odds are that of the octuplets, four or more will as well. Who will help them now that they have been born?
Abortion is a necessary, healthy tool for some women who cannot deal with a pregnancy at a certain time in their lives, or because of certain circumstances.
I am left with a question: Who will suffer most, the Suleman children (all 14 of them), or an unborn that was aborted?
