Aw jeez....
Jeez, Cary. I love you but: a mother is a mother is a mother. Once she gives birth to another child she has another child. This new human's caretaking can be negotiated but not the deep, substantive mother/child reality that this woman would be instigating by having another baby. She does not want to do it. This will poison their marriage and force her to live the next twenty-one years in service to everybody but herself.
Honey, listen to your heart. It's your life. Thanks to you, your husband has had the opportunity to be a father to two children. He loves you too much to want you to hatch another one just for him. If your heart says get the abortion, get the abortion. Your husband will only be happy if you're happy. He loves you. How beautiful is that!
