In reply to the discussion: Arkansas Senate passes bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks [View all]Camballo
(73 posts)because I never suggested even once in any way that situations like that don't happen. I never said women whose babies die in the womb should be denied access to proper medical care (to remove the fetus) I never would question these medical reasons for later abortions and I said so over and over again.
For every single response about medical conditions, and there were many, many angry responses, I said my concern was never about those situations; then I either said I was wrong in both my tone and word choices or apologized or both.
Now that you know my own baby died and I have taken back virtually everything I said and deleted my original post, I would really like the negativity toward me to stop. But I guess I should stop reading it; I'm too unhealthy and haven't figured out proper boundaries with people.
I'm sure this is TMI, as was my own miscarriage, but since you said I should read about it, I thought it was ok to tell you of my own experience.
I would say thanks for the note, but I don't really think you were being friendly. You said was you were surprised my own baby died. It's pretty customary to mention such a loss with a gentle word, but i guess you just think I'm some RW nut job whose trolling and not, as is the actual case, a public school teacher whose been fighting for liberal causes for more than 25 years. My whole Catholic extended family thinks I just love abortion because I do not ever want to see Roe v Wade overturned.
Anyway, I have only been a member since November, but I've been coming here since the run up to the Iraq war began. It's been a lifeline for me and I was so happy to finally be taking part in some threads, but today really made me think it would be best if I just shut up and go back to just reading posts. I can be REALLY hard on myself; I hardly need others to join me in that endeavor.
