Similarly this happened to me too. T18 with birth defects. I'm also a federal employee and was banned from having an abortion under insurance. We desperately wanted that baby, but I did not have maternity leave to recover, was AMA, and did not want to carry that baby for another 5 months to have it die. I also have a coworker who's baby had Potter's Syndrome and was dead on arrival. These are all late term abortions for wanted babies. I would never share my story in real life, but these are real issues for many women who are your friends and relatives. [/quote]

My struggles with infertility led me to being pro-choice as well.   Once I did go through pregnancy, I understood how incredibly public pregnancy is, and how awful it would be to have to go through it knowing I was carrying a child who was dead or dying.  All those people who were so happy for me, smiling and asking questions as I neared my due date, I couldn't imagine forcing someone to do that with a pregnancy with a birth defect that was not compatible with life.   I could easily see how it would send someone over the edge.

I think abortions happen more than you think, they are just not talked about.  [/quote]
