One of my siblings has two sons

Way back when she and her husband so wanted a daughter, but the fetus was not going to survive and could have killed her.
Her doctors recommended an abortion. She adores her sons and lived to enjoy her lovely granddaughter.
This is between women and their doctors.

That is all.

Things like when was wife’s last period?, How often do you have sex? I think the issue here is privacy, and medical privacy. Not just control over your body but over the intimate details of your body. It’s nobody’s business when you’re pregnant or not

are all up in our business about it, my DIL's brother and his wife just lost their baby girl in pretty much the same way. They found out that their baby was not viable at the anatomy scan and were given a choice between terminating or seeing out the pregnancy. Today they would not have that choice.

It's cruel and disgusting and I'm just not okay this morning. AND it's my son's birthday.

I’d like to know if DeathSentence’s wife tied off her tubes after her cancer diagnoses shortly after the firth of her 3rd child. If they can get involved in our family matters, we should be able to get involved in theirs.
Happy Birthday to your son😀

Did you wanna have more children? When was your life last period? Does she get bad cramps? Does she take birth control pills? All of these things are important for everybody to know

When did you lose your virginity? Were you married to your wife yet? How often per week do you have sex? Have you ever experienced impotence? Ever ejaculated prematurely? Ever have sex with a man? Do you use birth control, e.g. condoms? Ever give or receive oral sex? Ever pay for your wife or a girlfriend to have an abortion? Ever have sex with a minor? Ever pay for sex or get paid for it?

Make it very personal, about him, not his wife.

It is a medical decision between the woman and her doctor. Period.the.end.

Rich men just want to control and even kill us if we don't produce the baby easily. The theory of their total control matters more than any life. Christofascists so disgust me.
