Why Didn't Justine Just Abort?

No, he didn't but if Lara was there helping to care for the babies that were born, presumably she cared.

--- Quote from: Arjan on August 03, 2020, 01:55:54 PM ---Harry's reaction is understandable. I would be very reluctant to ask about abortion when someone tells me his wife is pregnant. I assume that if someone tells me they already have decided to keep the child and then starting about abortion would be wrong on so many levels.
We do not know what Thomas and Justine brought to their decision but those decisions are seldom completely rational anyway.

I mean, seriously. I would never ask anyone who said they were pregnant if they were considering an abortion... talk about an extremely out of line question. If they bring it up, sure, then it's open to discussion within the context that it is brought up.
Also, why on earth would a fantasy writer go down that path? Just seems like a great way to piss off half of his audience, whichever way it is handled.
Conspiracy Theorist:
It’s how Thomas survived.
I wonder if the succubi have an even lower fertility rate than the inccubi, we have only seen one Whamp mother Whamp child relationship.
What if in over a thousand years, a female Whamp can expect only to conceive once? However in that case, I suspect the Whamp mother is eating for two.
Thomas is the only surviving son of Lord Raith, if a boy this makes the child incredibly valuable to House Riath, a way of ending the reproductive bottle neck House Raith has found itself in.
Arjan:
A vampire mother should be easier, just feed more.

I agree entirely. As to your second part, why would he bring it up if the answer is no? It would be bringing up a touchy topic just so that everyone who feels strongly that abortion is wrong has a reason to not like Harry for bringing it up.
