My reason for having an abortion


I have a serious medical condition so I had to terminate my pregnancy at 13 weeks gestation. It was a difficult decision to make. If you think women have abortions because they are lazy, think again. I didn't see any posts here of abortions related to health problems.

You make a wonderful point and thank you for showing that.
Right wingers make it out that women who have abortions are sluts or whores.
This is not the case.
It is a hard choice to make.

But it is OUR choice.

Do you realize how mean and awful you sound? True Pro-Lifers don't say things like that. You need to show some compassion and understanding. Sometimes abortion is necessary to save a womans life.

CROCS RULE!

Thank you so much for proving me right about right wingers.
Ya crazy ass hoe.

I wasnt talking to you, my apologies, it did seem like it, Lilith.

I was talking the person telling the OP to rot in hell, and though I dont wish a bad thing on her, or him, I wish they could see how awfull they sound.

i wish people will just leave the abortion thing alone! it is a personal choice. if a woman decides to terminate her pregnancy, so what. if you dont believe in abortion, then dont have one!

I am sick of the anti-choice morons. There is one thing I want to know. If you are so concerned about children's lives why aren't you all pounding on the doors of the homes of the so-called parents that beat, physically abuse, and verbally and emotonally abuse their children. Aren't you concerned about their little souls? Souls that will grow up psychologically broken. BTW, I work with kids, I do my part to end the violence. Put up or shut up.

I feel sorry that you put your story out here and someone felt the need to disrespect you. Sadly, that is how our world is.
You are right though as women it is our choice. For health, economic or very bad timing reasons, whatever they are the choice is ours.

What about all the kids brought into the world that starve to death and are orphans,sick, abused, or neglected? I hear you. not cool. Reminds me of the situation in Africa, it is quite common for a woman/mother seeing 3 of her kids dying of starvation and illness, and to be pregnant with another one. They keep breeding, it's very sad.

reply

Trust me. They don't want to keep "breeding". A woman has no contraception and can't say NO to her husband. Trying to space out pregnancies can be difficult when the husband makes no effort to cooperate. They see it as God's will.

You terminated your pregnancy due to a medical reasons. I can see how you may feel this is a valid arguement, but medically necessary abortions account for less than 1% of abortions performed. There are a far larger number of abortions performed for much poorer reasons.

I have very obvious reasons I would ever abort a baby.And
it's mainly if I never cared for the guy.But then again I'm
sure I would never nor could never put myself in that position.

reply


I'm sure it must've been a very hard decicion for you
to make.But I hope someday if you choose to you can have
a successful pregnancy or have a surrogate.But you sound
like a very brave and noble woman.This is one of the
hardest choices any woman will ever have to make.

I am of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, and my parents are both carriers of the Tay-Sachs gene. Tay-Sachs, for those who don't know, is a genetic disorder found almost exclusively in Ashkenazi Jews in which a baby develops normally for a few months, then slowly begins to deteriorate. Usually, the baby suffers severe mental retardation, painful movement, loss of senses, and death by early childhood. There is no known treatment or cure.

Fortunately, my fiance is not a carrier, so there is little-to-no chance of it happening to us, but if my parents had discovered that one of their children was going to be born with Tay-Sachs, my mother would have aborted, no questions asked. If you believe that abortion is murder, I can respect that, even if I don't agree with it, but I feel that some fates are worse than death, and condemning a child to the four to six years of the living hell that is Tay-Sachs is one of them.

Have any pro-lifer got on your case? If so, don't let those bastards get to you, okay?

reply

“They’re not pro-life. You know what they are? They’re anti-woman. Simple as it gets: anti-woman. They don’t like ‘em. They don’t like women. They believe a woman’s primary role is to function as a brood-mare for the state.”
Thank you, George Carlin!
