Clip of Debbie Reynolds discussing her harrowing abortion ordeal on Joan River's show

[IcyPeas]

In the video clip from 1989, actress Debbie Reynolds described how she was forced to carry a dead foetus to term because laws at the time did not permit abortion

1. I remember those days

Limiting abortion is about more than terminating a pregnancy.

2. Just mind-blowing. Misogyny.

That’s the only way I can find, to explain it. What are they so afraid of?

4. Not so much fear but hatred

Hatred of independent women. Period.

10. That and the need to control...

[Brenda]

3. Wow, Debbie is one tough woman!

I can't imagine going through that with two pregnancies and mentally surviving and she is so lucky to have lived through it!

Why the fuck is the country going back to the Dark Ages??????

5. Not only was it inspiring to watch, but I enjoyed seeing where Carrie Fisher

got her looks.

Those two were amazing.

6. And Joan Rivers...ugh!

She is part of the reason why we're where we are today.

7. Twice...

omg I can't imagine. My firstborn was stillborn, full-term. She was in her final trimester. Absolutely devastating. TWICE. And to have to walk around knowing your dead child is in there though others are commenting on your "little bundle of joy." I only had to deal with that for a few days and it seemed like an eternity. Absolute nightmare. I never knew this about Ms. Reynolds. What a tragedy on so many levels.

11. Makes you wonder if all these pro life republicans would make their wives, daughters

Walk around for months with a dead baby inside them.

I am sorry about your experience.
