Assuming “there’s no reason to be concerned” about the unborn children of a high profile, convicted criminal is awfully naive. In the real world, good parents don’t abandon their kids at birth. They also don’t defend criminals who abandon their kids.
How selfish.
- newaccount74 4y agoA lot of people grow up with a single parent. In this case, the other parent isn't even gone, they just can't be around all the time. I just find it extremely disturbing how quick people are to judge people for having kids. It's an innate drive in most of us, and not being able to have kids can be a terrible thing. If it's selfish to want to have kids, then it's even more selfish to tell other people that they shouldn't have kids.
- hitekker 4y agoIntentionally having another kid right before being jailed for 11 years is selfish. If that isn’t obvious, you’re welcome to ask. When the kids grow up, just ask them how they feel about the kind of abandonment that you and Elizabeth Holmes believe in. Well, assuming the kids haven’t cut off contact with their failed parent.
- newaccount74 4y agoDo you think poor people shouldn't have kids either? Or people who serve in the military? What about people who have a family history of cancer? Of course it would be nice if every kid could have parents like in a Disney movie. The reality is that many people can't offer that to their children, for some reason or another. But that doesn't mean they can't still try to do their best. And with a supportive spouse and family, there's no reason to assume Holmes kids will have a worse childhood than the average rich kid with divorced parents. Holmes punishment is jail time, not being banned from motherhood.
