[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will be 39 in 2 months and am 8 weeks pregnant. I'm in a stable marriage and have 2 kids 8 and 4.5. This was not planned. I feel I'm too old, we both work full time abd life is very busy as it is. We don't have the bandwidth to add an infant to this. My oldest has inattentive ADHD and I worry that in addition to all the risks associated with age, this baby might also have some form of ADHD or autism. Its not the worst thing in the world but we just don't have the capability to raise a special needs child. I feel overwhelmed already. I should terminate this right?

Fwiw, I'm not Christian and I don't belive I'm killing a life yet. It is a feteus not a baby yet. But the possibility  of a healthy baby and a wonderful addition to our family and I guess some rosy edition of this tugs at my heart. I know its not practical.

Im pro choice but lets not kid ourselves.  This is a baby.  I could hear her heartbeat at 8 weeks.    Please make sure you dont get pregnant again but think long and hard before you go the abortion route.  It isnt the baby's fault you got pregnant.  38 isnt that old.[/quote]

Let’s put this fallacy to rest - heart cells grown in a lab beat. It’s what they do, even when not connected to any other cells, let alone a living body. It’s the cell mechanics, not some greater sign of life.

And you’re a troll, no pro choice person tells a vulnerable woman looking for help that it’s “not the baby’s fault.” Try harder next time, troll.[/quote]

Im not a troll.  You were once a bunch of cells too and allowed to grow became you...I am not shaming her just stating facts which we all should ackowlege.  At 8 weeks I heard my dd's heartbeat.  That is fact.    She can do what she wants and ultimately it is her alone will bear the burden not me.

My advice is if you finished having children and choose to abort [b]please dont get pregnant again and get another abortion.[/b]  [/quote]

You are speaking as if there were something *wrong* with abortion. There is NOT.

What is wrong is women having babies they don't really want but are forced/guilt-ed/shamed into.

Ok pp how many abortions would give you pause? Would it be ok to have five abortions, 10 abortions?  Unlimited?  Look, to me two abortions are too many given most circumstances ( not counting rape)  So, I think while abortion is necessary I do think it should be rare and not the go to choice.  You should do prevention first and the day after pill if you think you might get pregnant.
