27. What about problem pregnancies?

Wed Dec 1, 2021, 02:42 PM

Dec 2021

I know this doesn't impinge on the beautiful minds of those who deny women their bodily autonomy, but not every pregnancy has the plump, smiling, happy baby of the anti-abortion billboards. Some of those fetuses don't have a brain. Or have transposition of the great arteries? Or who otherwise fail to develop properly? The ones that risk the woman's life every day, every hour the pregnancy is prolonged?

Is there some secret line of people lining up to adopt severely handicapped or profoundly disabled newborns? Maybe we could redirect them to the thousands and thousands of already-born children in our foster care system? And leave women alone to live their lives without the snooping interference of ignorant god-botherers.
