43. What stands out most to me in your post
Sat Oct 19, 2024, 11:03 AM
Oct 2024

is this:" I asked if he knew that at six weeks, over 95% of women don't even know they are pregnant yet so we could be sentencing women with high risk pregnancies to death." His face turned white and he changed the subject to the media failing us. . . . He put out his hand and said, "I'm going to look up what you said about abortion."

Yeah, everyone. Six weeks in and most women don't know they're pregnant.

The other thing that enrages me is how some people seem to think women suddenly decide at 8 1/2 months that they really don't want the baby and abort.

I understand there's something out there that can give men at least some of the sensations of childbirth. They all last maybe ten minutes. We women? Many hours, sometimes actual days of labor.
