30. I had a 3 year old at time

Thu Apr 18, 2013, 05:13 PM

Apr 2013

As I left for the hospital, she was crying her eyes out, "Mommy, Mommy, I don't want you to die". She is 34 years old now and still remember what she was wearing that day.

Yet, they make these stupid ADS say, "Mommy, Mommy, please don't kill me". Well, I heard my living and breathing 3 year old child begging ME not to die. Which do you think I would give up my life for? A doomed embryo or my 3 year old? They do not understand WHY a woman would save a child over an embryo or a fetus. They should not even be a parent if that is what they think.
