And she never wants to get pregnant again for fear of this happening again, or something else terrible. I read this whole article and had tears rolling down my face. My first was four when we took her to my second’s 20-week scan, and we discovered he only had one kidney. We were beside ourselves with worry and it ruined the next few weeks for us. He was fine, this is common, and he’s fine now. But for this couple to have done the same thing as we did and find no kidneys - Potter Syndrome - and have that only be the beginning of what will be a years-long nightmare - it’s unconscionable. |
Exactly. |
Her life was at risk. Alabama didn’t care.

Rs don’t care. If anything they get off on women suffering. Some weird cult penance thing. |
This. And it's going to drive the responsible married couple birthrate way down . After something like this happens, you don't want to have another child AND you can't afford to have another child. |
And the death of a child often causes marriages to rupture, so after a while… there’s no marriage anymore anyway. It’s just mean for mean’s sake. |
Sorry, I just can’t get behind how a late term abortion would have made this situation better. The baby, after 24 weeks, has to get an injection through the mother’s abdomen, directly into their heart to kill them. Then over the course of a couple days, the woman is dilated and induced and, if necessary, the baby is dismembered to fully remove. Euthanatizing (and possibly) cutting apart a baby is just a no for me. If the baby had a poor prognosis, its born and comfort care is given so the baby isn’t suffering. If it isn’t legal to euthanize a live baby after birth, it shouldn’t be legal to do that to a viable fetus in utero. |
Please define “viable” for us? |
Once again, the sweet, gentle lives you coddled forced birthers must have lived. I know one woman whose WANTED CHILD had to be dismembered in utero this way. She had placenta percreta. Do you know what that is? Of course you don’t, or, like forced birthers with ectopic pregnancies, you probably think a magic wand can fix it. But let me tell you what it is. Placenta percreta is the most severe degree of placenta accreta. Placenta percreta, is when the placenta and all its thirsty desire to burrow, to attach, to stay attached and to bring a blood supply, gets out of the uterus. In her case, it had begun to attach to her organs. She lost the pregnancy she wanted, she lost her uterus and she very nearly bled out. Now, I’m sure in the magical women aren’t people world you live in, she should have just gone ahead and bled out in her home because the propaganda you suck back tells you so and hey, if it happens to you, you go ahead and choose certain death for yourself and your pregnancy. But do not sit there in your utter ignorance and make pronouncements like you have any clue at all. And I hope no pregnant women are reading this right now. I’m sorry if you are. She did survive the surgery (and thank you to the blood donors who also helped save her life). |
This is not an elective abortion. Plus the baby wasn’t a viable age, otherwise she would have had a c-section and the baby would have been medically supported. |
