After Rose O’Donnell and her estranged lesbian partner decided not to go through with the adoption of an unborn baby boy because of a birth defect, the woman carrying the child said she felt like “a dog breeding puppies for Rosie”.

The Daily Mail is reporting on the story of Rosie, 53, and her now estranged “wife” Michelle Rounds, 44, who had asked the birth mother of their two-year-old daughter Dakota to carry a second child for them.

“When I was walking around the hospital, trying to induce labor with Dakota, Rosie asked me not to go through with having my tubes tied, which I’d planned to do,” Jami Weaver told The Enquirer. “They said they wanted me to have another child for them in the future.”

Last summer, when she found out she was carrying a boy, she emailed Rose to see if they wanted the baby. If not, she was going to have an abortion.

“Rosie told me, ‘Don’t do that!’”

However, the deal fell through when Weaver learned the baby had gastroschisis, a congenital birth defect that causes the bowel to protrude through the abdominal wall.

Doctors told Weaver the defect could be corrected with surgery.

In fact, as LifeNews reports, while some babies with gastroschisis are targeted for abortion, there is a 90 percent survival rate for these babies. Most require surgery and a stay in the hospital for six to 12 weeks after birth, but are sent home requiring no additional care except for treatment of acid reflux in the first 6 months of life. Otherwise, they go on to live healthy, happy lives. The other 10 percent experience complications which can be corrected with additional surgeries.

O’Donnell decided she didn’t want the child.

“Rosie told me she could not handle having a special needs child,” Weaver said.

It is not known if Weaver went ahead with her earlier plan to abort the child if O’Donnell didn’t want it.

“Rosie and Michelle weren’t the warm people I thought they were,” Weaver said. “I just felt like I was a dog breeding puppies for Rosie.”

“Puppy breeding” is a perfect description of the cold-hearted attitude of all of the players in this sad story - from O'Donnell to Weaver - whose lack of human "warmth" (some might call it a functioning conscience) may have led to the death of an innocent little boy.
