Miami Heat’s Udonis Haslem’s Wedding Write-Up In The NYT Includes Details About His New Wife’s Abortion. How’s That For ROMANCE.

According to this, the New York Times' write-up on the nuptials of Miami Heat player Udonis Haslem and his new wife, Faith Rein, features a whole bunch of information about their decision to abort their first kid together.  Because what wedding story would be complete without that, right?

The name of the story is "Taking Their Very Sweet Time" and it starts out innocently enough – breaking down how the couple met in college at the University of Florida, how they were both athletes, how they supported one another, etc.

But then the article reads, “Their first challenge took place the following spring when she became pregnant. It was her junior and his senior year, and he had begun training for the N.B.A. draft. Despite the pregnancy, she was busy with track meets and helping him complete homework. The timing was bad.”

LifeNews.com is flipping out over this, and you can hardly blame them. They said, "Now the Gray Lady is going overboard with its effusive praise of snuffing out the lives of unborn children by printing a wedding announcement celebrating the abortion Miami Heat’s Udonis Haslem’s fiance’ obtained.”  Pro-CHOICE blogger Eve Vawter even said that while she supports abortion, the mention was "inappropriate" for a wedding announcement.  She wrote, "It’s their wedding story and they can discuss whatever they want, but it just seems a bit uncouth to me. Couldn’t they have done an entirely separate article where they talked all about it?”

But guess who thought the abortion mention was pure awesome?  Jezebel.  Because OF COURSE.

They wrote, "Signs of real social progress are often very subtle. They ought to be, by nature, since real progress is really a process of normalization. When a wedding announcement in the New York Times openly discusses abortion as a difficult yet pragmatic decision a young couple made before they were financially and emotionally ready to have a kid, it’s a signal that a vast majority of Times readers (at the very least) recognize that having an abortion is a completely legitimate option."

Jezebel calls this progress, you guys.  It's PROGRESS to make the killing of unborn babies more accepted and normal and ok. 

Wow.
