Believe me, being a party to the abortion of a six week old embryo is not joyous, from a man’s viewpoint. That could have been my son. But I am now 56 years old, married, and because my wife is a DES baby, childless.

I was seventeen at the time and neither one of us was in a position to raise a child. Her decision, I agreed, and our parents were aghast that we had done such a thing but agreed to the termination. I paid for it. Have I wondered? Sure. But it was the right choice at that time.

Pro and con was probably not the best phrasing. It’s never pro. Sometimes, as you say, the right choice.
