This.  I also had to end my very much wanted pregnancy at 20 weeks because of a massive infection in my uterus. Later-term abortions make up a very small percentage of abortions performed, and they are not performed for "convenience."  Pregnancy isn't always sunshine and rainbows - tragic situations can and do occur and heatrbreaking choices sometimes have to be made.  These choices are between a woman, her family, her medical team, and God - they are no one else's business.  I wouldn't wish what I went through on my worst enemy.  I will be forever grateful for the compassionate and skilled doctors and nurses who helped me.   [/quote]

You put that very well.  I also had to have an abortion at 20 weeks of a very much wanted pregnancy (IVF) because my baby had a fatal condition, detected at the 20 week ultrasound.  It was unlikely he'd survive to term, and even if he did, impossible that he'd live for more than a few minutes after birth.  As the PP said, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.  I have no idea what the statistics are, but I have to imagine that many, if not most abortions performed around that time in a pregnancy are for similar reasons. [/quote]

I'm so sorry for your loss - all of you.  Any of us could be faced with the same circumstances and I, for one, feel grateful that we are enabled to choose.[/quote]

What if a diagnosis was missed prenatally, and discovered at birth?  Would you give your newborn a lethal injection to the heart then?  Or is it only compassionate when your child is still inside your body?[/quote]

Well, in my case at least, my son would have died almost immediately, if he even made it to term.  So I really don't understand the point of your question, other than to be inflamatory.  [/quote]

I am another one as well. We ended a pregnancy at 22wks due to severe fetal anomaly.

You have no idea what you would choose if faced with our situations. 
You think you do but you DO NOT. [/quote]
