There are horrific birth defects that cannot even be tested for or detected until past 20 weeks. It is barbaric to force any woman to birth a child she does not want.
It is barbaric to dismember a pre-born human being, you ******* idiot.
Sucks for you. Roe vs wade *****.
You're new here and likely have not read my personal account with the realities of abortion. I hesitate to retell it as it may just become more fodder for your inane rants.
When Mrs. H. had her first ultrasound, the attending physician pointed out several "markers" that he said were indicative of Down's Syndrome. He very nonchalantly told us to go down to the coffee shop and discuss our "options". We were shell-shocked and stunned.
So we took a break and sat across that table just staring at each other in disbelief. After several moments, my wife simply said "you take what life gives you", to which I replied "yup". And that was it.
So we went home and prepared ourselves for a life of extraordinary servitude to our child. We were emotionally gutted, but at the same time overjoyed at the prospect of having a child together. That's what some folks refer to as "love" and "respect" and "faith".
Now don't get me wrong, we're not your much maligned and hated "Bible Thumpers". I was born and raised Roman Catholic but by that time (20 years ago) I considered myself (and still do) Agnostic. My wife was then and still is Pagan.
So at the next scheduled ultrasound, the nurse told us that everything looked perfectly normal and that we should have no concerns at all. Were we jumping up and down high-fiving each other? Not in the least. Our attitude was "you take what life gives you".
And so 20 years on, that child who was the perfect candidate for abortion is a Sophomore at The Boston Conservatory dancing as she's danced since she first learned to walk.
I'll also add something that I didn't mention when I first posted this some years ago. Mrs. H. did have a miscarriage before this pregnancy. That really fucked with our heads. But in a different kind of way.
Responsibility, accountability, respect, faith. Concepts that many women have a hard time coping with. It's much easier just to flush such concerns down the toilet. Much much easier since Roe V Wade.
