In reply to the discussion: "NO": The Second Part of Trump's Answer That Got Audible Gasps From the Audience [View all]LittleGirl
(8,292 posts)My neighbor in her early 30s had a 20 week sonogram that showed the baby with no brain and barely a skull. This was her and her husband's second child and they were so excited it was a girl after having a boy first. When she found out this baby wouldn't survive, she was distraught. These people were christians and happily married! This was in Indiana and thankfully, it was many years ago because now, she would not be able to abort it because the Gov just signed a law outlawing this type of abortion for defects. (You can get one if the fetus is healthy but not deformed or defective, like that makes sense! it doesn't but I digress).
She didn't know what to do and at first, she wanted that baby out of her. But after crying for days, she decided to keep it until it came and she went into labor about a month early (from full term). The baby lived not even an hour. She did have another girl about 2 yrs later who is now 6 yrs old. They have a home service every year for the lost baby and have a corner in the garden dedicated to her memory.
Thank you for your rant. It's perfect.
