when she became pregnant again. it was unplanned. even though we had wanted a daughter, and felt this time it might be, we decided to abort. it would have been selfish of us, and unfair to the world, to have more children than to replace ourselves. the decision was not easy, but ultimately we saw it as a choice for life, that is, for the health and life of the whole world. the world did not need more poeple; if anything, it needed fewer. doing our part for life has always been something to be proud of.
