[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would I kill myself for an h born when I have living children to take care of!?!?[/quote]

How are you killing yourself?[/quote]

Ectopic pregnancies
Sepsis
Infection due to PPROM
Extreme cases of HG
Cancers discovered during pregnancy
Heart conditions discovered during pregnancy
Pre-existing heart or kidney conditions or other health conditions for which pregnancy poses extreme risks
Placental abruption
Pre-eclampsia
Etc
Etc
Etc

All of the above can be fatal to the mother.  All can result in life-altering consequences to the mother and limit or prohibit her ability to carry future pregnancies or take care of children she already has.

Have you never known anyone in your life who has had a life-threatening pregnancy?  How fortunate.[/quote]

[b]Then don’t have sex I guess?[/b] These are like the arguments made against ending slavery before machinery and electricity. Working a farm by hand in the hot summer sun is way deadlier than pregnancy. The abuse of the helpless for the convenience of the strong is wrong in every age.[/quote]

Oh, you mean aim for being a childless cat lady?  I'm sure JD Vance and others of his ilk would just LOVE it if their wives started denying sex for fear of getting pregnant and losing their own right to life should a potential complication occur.

Anybody who would stab a developing helpless human in the head to avoid pregnancy would definitely have had slaves to avoid working a farm with hand tools. Even slaves wanted to live so in a way abortion is worse. People never change and are really bad.[/quote]

1. For clarity, the heart is stopped first with medication. This I know because a family member underwent the procedure after the anatomy scan detected a fatal abnormality that meant that the baby would die after birth. They decided that they did not want to carry for another 20 weeks then watch the baby suffer and die.

2. Just for clarify, are you calling my family member evil for that decision? Saying they would be equivalent to someone who owned slaves? WTAF??????

Worse. Even slaves wanted and were allowed to live.[/quote]

You probably complain about taxes being too high, not realizing that insurance doesn’t usually pay the bill for this.  All those machines to keep a premie alive are very costly and kids with birth defects like this are usually on Medicaid from birth to death.  Sure that may only be a month or two, but what a tax bill!  Preemies cost up to 20K a DAY in the NICU.  
And you don’t want to pay for school.  If a preemie is in the NICU for 31 days, that would pay for K-12 education for 3 kids. All on tax payer money.

This doesn’t even calculate in, if the kid survives, the cost of schooling through age 21 for a highly intensive SPED kid.

It should be parent choice if they want to take this on, not yours.
