I am surmising that is due to genetic and pregnancy testing. Certainly true with the women I know. It’s become pretty standard not to tell anyone about your pregnancy until the trisomy tests (downs) are back as well as spinal bifida.
What’s going to happen now? Can these states afford all the sick and special needs babies? |
| I hope voters remember this. |
| You're assuming its medically-ill fetuses. Maybe its just that they have children and can't afford/handle more. |
| Yeah, no way these are all for medical reasons. Lots of suburban women who just don't want another child. |
I do not believe that for one second!! |
|
That can’t be right.
I was told that it was brunching sluts, using abortion as birth control, after they are seven months pregnant. |
|
Think if the women we know - what’s more likely?
The fetus had downs. |
Yes. I think I read somewhere that this is the reason. They just don’t want more kids. |
Yeah, I know. I thought it was all slutty teens. Who knew it was the mother next door? |
You read somewhere?! No chance. |
| Why do all that testing if there’s nothing you can do about it? |
| Children cost money! I can absolutely see this as I have friends who fall into this group. |

It’s called family planning—the single most important economic development of the 20th century. But by all means, let’s go back to the stone ages.
Abortion is a normal and important part of health care for women who can get pregnant. Remember the vast majority of abortions are performed in the first trimester, when the vast majority of miscarriages also happen. There’s nothing sad about ending an unwanted pregnancy at that stage—women have to start talking about this. We mourn early miscarriages because they were wanted pregnancies. As for the abortions that happen after the first trimester class which are now going to be illegal in many places in this country—those are the abortions performed for very serious reasons involving the health and safety of the mother. What the GOP has done is just sick. |

| Families are already having trouble caring for and feeding the children they have. Men are going to be hurt hard and in their pocketbooks once their wives start having more kids to pay for |
