[quote=Anonymous]I hope the baby grows up healthy without significant disabilities and enriches the lives of his family.

But … I remain disgusted at the “pro life” fetishization of the fetus. This whole saga was an intensely expensive, distressing and painful intervention that produced a micropreemie that will need yet more painful and expensive intervention, with a very high chance of a child with severe disability … and then the mother’s body is thrown away once it is no longer needed. All because the very natural course of events was not allowed to take place and the family was not given a choice. I believe the willingness of the mother is as the heart of the mortality and good of childbirth and childrearing - and this event made a complete mockery out it it. It is truly repellent. Her body was literally dead.

Yet the pro lifers will wax on ecstatically about “life” and “babies” and “wombs” with complete lack of acknowledgement about the immense pain and burden and unhappiness caused.

When you listen to these pro lifers you can hear that they literally worship the “womb” and the “baby” and refuse to acknowledge any legitimacy of the costs and pains of childbirth let alone the damages suffered by unwanted children. It’s all a fairy tale to them. It’s deeply, deeply negating towards any value of the woman’s life. [/quote]
