Women who say they aren't voting on the single issue of abortion rights

They were hoping the baby would be born alive but sadly it was a stillbirth. The love these parents had for their baby despite the genetic abnormality was beautiful. Various family members came to visit and hold the baby while celebrating her very short life. We took footprints and collected other things for the parents to remember her by. After about a day the funeral home came and carried away the baby in a basket. It reminded me of an old Oprah episode about a baby born with the same condition. They celebrated every day the baby lived until he passed (the video is linked below). I feel horrible for parents in these situations but can't help and think about how many babies with defects have been aborted in cruel manner and discarded as if their life didn't mean anything.

Have you spent a lot of time caring for someone who is severely disabled?

Dp; yes. My own child, who is now an adult and will always live with me.

I would never kill him because he’s someone who needs my help to survive and live a decent life. It turns my stomach to think people advocate for him to be killed. I would never do such a thing.

We continue to talk about 12 year olds, or fetuses with no chance of survival being brought to term.
How bout the pregnant woman doesn’t want to be a mother or pregnant. Thats a good enough reason for me, and most ppl. Jesus ppl, give it up.

Who is forcing you to have kids or become pregnant?

Why do you think normal women are voting for full civil rights? Your party obviously plans to go after abortion and birth control if they get in power.

Probably because the whole ash continuum matters. The GOP’s assault on women’s rights is nothing less than them creating second class citizenship for women where nothing is secure for us because we’d be at the mercy of our uteruses.

Oh you sweet summer child! Are you not aware of rape and birth control failure?

DP. Normal women?! What nonsense phrasing is that?

Pro life women are not less than because they disagree you.

You aren’t intellectually honest enough to tell the truth: nobody is forcing you to become a mother or become pregnant.

Just like their own unborn children are less.

Does nobody think about the ramifications of their actions until it affects them individually? Southern states are trying to ban abortions in all instances - rape, incest, health of the mother.

Abortion is the top of the iceberg, the tip of the iceberg of MAGA hatred of humanity. It's not a "single issue"

Killing your own child shows love for humanity how?

A fetus isn't a child. Fetch isn't going to happen here. If you believe a fetus is a child, then don't have an abortion yourself. Do not tell me r anyone else what we should do. It is none of your business.

I delivered twins during my 20th week of pregnancy. Don't tell me that at 20 weeks a baby is a "bag of cells." They were tiny little human beings. If you held your children in your arms and watched them die like I did, you would support restrictions on abortion to the first trimester. I don't know the numbers, but I believe a large number of abortions that happen in the second trimester is due to the advent of advanced genetic testing that takes place 18 weeks. To me, it is horrifying that people will terminate pregnancies due to genetic abnormalities like Downs Syndrome, or even the wrong sex.

Then don’t you terminate it. I would terminate a genetically abnormal fetus with zero hesitation. I have a dear friend who has a child with a severe genetic disorder that’s rare enough to sneak through all genetic testing. My friend, living with that child, is 200% clear she’d opt to terminate if she knew ahead of time.

Your friend is a monster.

I am with her 100% and I’d terminate a genetically abnormal fetus without hesitation. Are you aware of statistics on this? Few people volunteer to have disabled, sick children.

A poster with self identified severe physical disability from birth is posting on this thread. If they can, anyone can.

In these stories, the death is always peaceful and beautiful, all balloons and memories. No one talks about babies who will never eat without a tube or talk or walk unassisted, whose brain will never develop, who need expensive therapies and childcare, who have a dozen doctors just to get through the day, who upend the family’s plans and budgets and other children. No one talks about broken marriages or sibling resentments or deep depression for the mother. Oh no. It’s all sunshine and roses and enlightenment.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you want or have to. Also, my friends child will never talk or use the internet or have cognitive activity to support that. Just fyi.

Some would force her to remain pregnant.
