[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See, here's the thing.  An "abortion story" that goes something like "I didn't want to have a baby so I had an abortion" is every bit as valid as all of these stories about fetal abnormalities and everything else because MY BODY MY CHOICE.  Nothing else matters.[/quote]
Why end the life of a tiny human being who no longer needs you? Allow her to continue her life without you. What’s the payoff in being violent?[/quote]

Why are you lying? People don't get abortions on healthy pregnancies willy-nilly after the point of viability. They might end a pregnancy after 27 weeks for tragic reasons, but at that point the baby is delivered. Even in few weeks before viability, most pregnancies that are deliberately ended are tragic situations like this one. Read this woman's story. Even at 19.5 weeks it was a delivery, by c-section, not a D&E. [twitter]https://twitter.com/YepISaidItAgain/status/1541206014846013442[/twitter] [/quote]

Oh good, yet another story just like the OP's with absolutely zero evidence or indication that mother's life was remotely in jeopardy. Pregnancies end spontaneously at many points in pregnancy and end naturally without danger to the mother--sorry, pregnant person--all the time. And by the way, if the fetus is just a sack of cells and only a "potential for life" as most posters on here keep claiming, why all the worry about the "baby" "suffering, suffocating?" You can't have it both ways. You can't say it's only a "potentail for life" and then claim it's to prevent their suffering in the uterus if it's not really a person. I speak from experience very much like this story. I was never in danger, the pregnancy ended on its own. My twins lived and breathed in my arms for a short time on earth. My healthcare takers knew better than to sedate me, knowing that it was important for me to be in the moment and remember my children. I don't have the PTSD that the storyteller here does--and I didn't even have a child to go home to. Just an empty sad house. But hard things happen to us, and if you're a normal person, you grieve and move on. This story is BS. [/quote]

Most people who live through a tragedy come through it with more empathy for and clarity about the sorrow and difficulties others experience. For me it was the only saving grace of having suffered through loss and other misfortune, becoming much more understanding of the lived reality of fellow humans. I'm sorry your terrible loss did not affect you in that way but left you judgmental and without compassion for others going through similar experiences. Your way of handling your grief is not the same as others, nor should it be the only acceptable way.

But I think another PP has it right that therapy would do you some good. Your reaction suggests a LOT of unfinished business in your journey through trauma. So sorry for your loss.[/quote]
