[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took misoprostol for retained placenta, after delivering a healthy baby. Since the placenta is products of conception, it was technically an abortion.

Third trimester abortions are quite risky, difficult to obtain and very costly. People aren’t looking up at 29 weeks and deciding to get an abortion. I don’t think doctors would do it for that reason because the benefits wouldn’t outweigh the risks. Most maternal health complications at that point would be solved by delivering the baby. [/quote]

Thx, and sorry you had to go through that complication.  Sounds rough.

I checked out the Wiki on 3rd trim terminations; I don’t think there is any factual dispute they are rare.

I would like to believe 100% of them are for the correct reasons: severe malformations and serious medical risk to the mother.  I am just trying to confirm what I would like to believe.

It’s really amazing how much hostility I’ve received here in this thread,  even though I have been very up front about being pro choice.  [/quote]

I’m the PP above, and I don’t think it’s amazing. [b]You asked a kind of stupid question to confirm your feelings. Here’s the thing: third trimester abortions are very rare, and one answer won’t cover all possibilities for motivation.

My record has a [b]40 week[/b] abortion in it, but it’s not because I didn’t want to deliver a baby. How could anyone possibly quantify this type of situation in a graph, along with the other reasons woman seek third trimester abortions? There are maybe a few hundred of these rare cases per year, and lawmakers should not ever try to draw lines for these complex medical issues based on anyone’s feelings. Sorry to be so blunt, but [/b]F your feelings[b]. I’m going to get whatever medical is needed, and other women should have the same autonomy. [/quote]

Any fecking questions?  [/quote]

Did you read my previous post? [/quote]
