What a storm in a teacup! So they want to see baby's hand waving regularly
and they can afford it - So what. It's probably a safe bet that they also
get excellent medical care. Did anyone notice that he said he's going to
"donate the machine to some hospital after delivery" - All one can hope is
that he bought a good one and donates it where it will help the less
fortunate.

Life is all about choices and outcomes huh! Maybe the Pro in the "Pro
choice" should take a new meaning into "Proactive" to keep from getting
pregnant if that isn't the situation you want to be in.
