[quote=Anonymous]I had an abortion for a very poor prenatal diagnosis.  A deletion on my baby's 4th chromosome.  I had *many* ultrasounds and blood tests, and you-name-it along the way to the amnio.  It was all complete torture and every mama's worst nightmare.

I am a mother of three young children -- the decision to terminate was by far the most difficult and painful decision I have ever made in my life.  There are no easy answers.

We had to travel to another state for the procedure, which only added another horrific layer to what was already a heart-wrenching trauma.  I can only imagine what these bills and amendments are going to force women across the country to do, all in the name of making private medical decisions that they feel are the best for their families.

This was almost five years ago, and not one single day has gone by that I don't miss and grieve my little girl.  Still, my husband and I stand by our decision and feel that it was the most compassionate one we could have made for our daughter and our other children.  I cannot think of a more private matter than this -- a choice to be made by a woman and (possibly) her partner on the advice of *compassionate medical professionals,* not government wonks.[/quote]
