In reply to the discussion: 'Pro-Choice' Americans At Record Low, Poll Finds [View all]turtlerescue1
(1,013 posts)Please keep this fact in mind, I wanted six kids when I got married, yep, seriously. But instead I'm barren, after the fourth what is called a "spontaneous abortion", there wasn't much to feel like a woman about, and even less hope for a family. When I hear about an abortion, well its always the same inner response, what I wanted so badly, another woman doesn't.
BUT I do not have the right to dictate someone else's choice and decisions. My life, yep, someone else's Nope.
Learned about the Middle Ground in nursing school: is that which is within the womb viable?
Can it breathe on its own outside the woman's womb? Okay, here's the wrench: Sometimes druggie babies are born with only a brain stem, but they breathe on their own-true its a limited lifetime, but they ARE viable outside the womb. Takes the questions out of the equation, not the emotions but what is life is defined, when does it begin is defined.
Not out to change anyone's mind, but it is a perspective. See I did not murder, but under the terms of some posting here, even that spontaneous abortion would fit their criteria.
I can promise you never did I have any intent of losing the fetus in my womb.
This issue will never have a peaceful discussion. Not until we quit trying to decide what someone else's freedoms are limited to.
