No. It is not OK.
Progressives/liberals/communists will pull out all of the stops to save the life of any convicted killer destined for judicially-mandated punishment, yet will murder thousands of innocents in the womb on a daily basis.
That's an ongoing dichotomy of reasonable thought that perplexes the majority of us.

Thanks to advances in in-vitro fertilization and more women waiting longer to conceive, the rate of multi births has skyrocketed over the past decade.
Doctors have been able to reduce the risk to the mothers and babies, but thanks to the risk to the mother of carrying three or more fetuses, OB/GYN's have developed a method of reducing multiple pregnancies down to a more manageable two fetuses. The procedure involves inserting a needle filled with potassium chloride into the heart of one of the fetuses around 12 weeks, which stops its heartbeat.
In fact, some women pregnant with twins who believe they don't have the resources to care for two babies have also decided to terminate one of the fetuses in utero. The New York Times tackled the sticky issue of twin reduction for non-medical reasons this week, speaking to the doctors who perform these procedures and the women who undergo them.
While author Sarah Hrdy argues it was more common for women to abandon a child moments after birth if they felt they couldn't take care of the baby in her book "Mother Nature: Maternal Instincts and How They Shape the Human Species," some Times readers have ben asking what constitutes "necessary resources" these days?

It's different because it's a natural process where as having a doctor rip a babies arms and legs apart and then suck it's brains out and thrown into the trash is not...
I don't believe in any situation to be aborted at all, God [even if you don't believe in Him] can use anyone out of anything.
He uses the broken and the rejected, the faulty and righteous alike, He can use anyone from some bad situation and use it for good.
People wonder why we aren't farther in the world, they abort the scientists, the thinkers, the builders and creative people, genius' and humanitarians, the world will never know these people because they were never born, the world is far worse without them.
2. think about how many GOOD people are being killed, for every evil action there is someone to stand against it and myself believing in God know that there will be an evil that will arise and he cannot be aborted; he will be born and in the end he will be destroyed anyways.
Every evil person that has ever lived has never lived forever, evil deeds come and go and in the end God is in control so I don't have to worry about it.
You can worry about it but I'm not going to, they still deserve a chance to make the choice to do good or evil.
You don't know who will be good or evil but if you abort them all you will never know who would have done what and how they would have impacted the world.
For all you know the person that could have fixed things was aborted, the next great president was aborted, the next football player, artist and so on will never live to create.
It's foolish to ask what if a great evil is born, there's always people who do evil things, I ask how many good people have been murdered because their parents didn't want to take responsibility or even give them a chance to make something of themselves.
This shows your mindset vs. Mine, You think about evil, I think about good.
One says to kill your enemy while the other says love your enemy so No they are NOT the same.
Jesus came not to Abolish the law but to make whole, It was written that you should take an eye for an eye BUT remember what Jesus said after that when He talked about it?
You're foolish to think that everything in the old test is still in effect...
I'm not going to get into it with you because it would take far too long to straighten out and prove you wrong.
Frankly you seem like the type of person who wouldn't believe me even if I got a hold of Jesus Blood, cloned Him, Killed you and had Jesus bring you back to life...
You're far too ignorant to waste my time on. good night.
If there were health reasons involved and that played a role it makes a little more sense. But just to say, 'I only want one- the other has to go'... I don't know how they do it.
