(96,793 posts)They were all over the internet. Just heart breaking stories. A lot like the one you posted.
But the story that stuck with me was from a woman who was in her 80s. She came to a memorial we had here in Kansas. She told of being pregnant in the 1950s, long before abortion was legal, and her baby died in the 6th month. Her doctor said she needed an abortion to get that dead fetus out of her or she could suffer serious health consequences, including death. But there was no doctor anywhere here in Kansas or in the country who was willing to perform this life saving abortion. So she was forced to carry that dead baby for 3 more months until her body went into labor. By that time, she was very ill, nearly died, and was unable to have any more children.
That woman's story is all I need to be pro-abortion. When I think that a woman nearly DIED because our laws in this country are so back asswards, I want to scream.
