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.
Is It OK to Abort One of a Pair of Twins?

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?

Thank you.
Funny how the pro death people accuse me of being Christian.
The doctor said if my Grandmother didn't abort my Mother they would both die, My Grandmother went ahead with it and my Mom and Grandmother were fine...
I don't believe any mother is at risk because of this and that Doctors don't know what the hell they're talking about.
I have seen time after time when doctors screwed up people including a lot of my family members because they were morons who didn't know what they were doing or talking about.
If my Mother would have been aborted I would not be here today so I am obviously against abortion.
