Holy cow, that letter writer is coocoo bananas. Do we think that letter is actually real? Are there actually people who calculate life choices like a soap opera villain?!?! Who traps another person into having a child without their consent betting that they’ll change their minds?!

I know someone who did this and was contemplating doing it a second time for a second child, but she was concerned her husband would get wise. The world is full of all kinds of people
WP Letter Writer
I’m surprised anyone would admit to this. Deplorable.

It’s so common it has its own verb. You haven’t heard of “oopsing”?
WP Letter Writer
I haven’t but I guess I have now and I am HORRIFIED. Apparently, a lot of people need to be educated on informed consent in all forms, including this one.
JB
gasp, never heard that

Um, I think it happens more often than you realize. It’s morally reprehensible, for sure, but it does happen.

Never heard the term oopsing, but I do (tangentially) know someone who did this. Turns out she was right in that he became an excellent father, but wrong in that he left her before she gave birth, married someone else, and co-parents well with his now ex-wife and his new wife (and the several kids they went on to have).

I went through the fashion documentaries and was shocked at the exclusion of The Last Emperor, subject matter Valentino.
