RE: I Had To End My Pregnancy To Save My Life

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Maybe you want to stop PRETENDING that 55 million aborted babies are dead due to "life of the mother" phony baloney?

Blankie · Guru

This OP isn't about 55 million. It's about one mother who did the right thing, who is being mercilessly judged by strangers on a board.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

The "right thing" according to whom? She could have choosen a C Section which is what millions of women do.

Blankie · Guru

And she might not have lived to write about it.

I've got better things to do than argue with you, LGS. See ya!

I am sure this mother thought is was more convenient to live. Since, you know, if she had died, her baby was also going to die.

She very well may not have died. We have a person on this very board that was told she would die, but didn't. And neither did her child...

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Yes. And, I almost died in childbirth as well. I was in DIC, which has a very high mortality rate.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Tell ya what Blankie. I will agree to abortion for rape, incest and Life of the mother? Other than that, let's set limits. Sound good?

" Not all of us would have an abortion just to prove we could. "

It's easy to believe that some jerks would SAY they would get pregnant, just so they could have an abortion to prove that they could.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would actually DO that.

Just to prove she could. evileye

Ed, have you not seen the YouTube video where a woman did just that? She filmed the whole thing. And she got pregnant on purpose so she could film it.

55 Million Abortions were not done to "save the life of the mother" . This is simply more propaganda. There is NO medical indication to have an abortion. If mom is in danger, so is baby. The treatment for that is delivery.

The OTHER abortions have nothing to do with this one. This was a wanted child - and it was a devastating decision. And YES, pregnancy can be life threatening -women used to DIE all the time, modern medicine is able to intervene now when necessary.

Supposedly - and yet you've condemned the woman in this OP when her life was on the line. Lip service and actually meaning it are two different things.

You really think that option wasn't considered? She was in physical distress and the baby was not far enough along to survive it in 1989. It would be rare for it to survive it now. Try using facts instead of emotion to control your response.
