In reply to the discussion: I had an abortion at 7 months pregnant in 1978. [View all]Boldine
(86 posts)21. I so feel for women who have to go through late term abortion
Abortion is a hard decision. Late term abortions are done after very difficult decisions have been made; these are usually very much wanted babies, the women weren't waiting to have an abortion they were waiting to welcome a healthy baby. Why would someone, especially a woman, want to punish other women whose dreams and hopes have been dashed. Women who go through abortion, especially late term abortions, need our compassion and kindness, not disdain and scorn.
Thank you for sharing your story KW.

See downthread. Someone already assumed the OP had no good reason. Shameful.
