19. I'm so glad she's not.

A woman close to my family was pregnant last year: happy, looking forward to it. At the anatomy scan they got the unthinkable news that their daughter had a condition which was incompatible with life. She had to make the decision whether to continue or terminate the pregnancy. She made what I believe to be the best decision, and like your daughter, fortunately in a state that allowed the termination.

All that's gonna change if republicans gain any more power than they currently have. We're in NC and it's very likely that the rights we now have will go away soon, because republicans have a gerrymandered lock on this state.

My ex-DIL had an ectopic pregnancy requiring emergency surgery. Her symptoms began with pain that was so bad she literally passed out. She could have died. Didn't know she was pregnant.

she did go on to have a healthy pregnancy after this happened. I just say that to hopefully give some hope and comfort to your daughter - I am so sorry for your loss, so happy that she is okay.
