30. My ex-sil's baby had died in utero
Thu Jun 28, 2012, 09:50 AM
Jun 2012

Her doctor said she should go into spontaneous labor within 48 hours, if not, the doctor would have to intervene. Labor didn't start and the closest facility which could safely perfrom the procedure was a Planned Parenthood clinic. However, the walk into the clinic was the worst experience. Some jackass protester stopped Risa and said "You are going in there to kill your baby." Already emotional she screamed "My baby is already dead. These people are going to save my life." She said you could hear a pin drop and the protesters blocking the door stepped silently out of her way. The clinic allowed her doctor to be there with her as she felt more comfortable with him there, provided a private room for the family to grieve, and provided her with a counselor to help her through the entire experience. They even allowed her to leave by a back entrance so she would not have to face the protesters again.
