Here’s a revealing statement from the mother of the woman who gave birth to octuplets in Los Angeles earlier this week:

She said that doctors had given her daughter the option of reducing the number of embryos, but she had declined.

“What do you suggest she should have done? She refused to have them killed. That is a very painful thing,” she said.

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
