Thanks for your patience, William.
I know we aren’t trying to change each other’s minds but it’s nice to really see another’s perspective.
I’m not quick to judge but this hits close to home. I am sure that has influenced me.
I almost lost my kids @ 21.5 & 19.5 weeks.
I was born @ 33 weeks @ 2# 11 ounces.
Babies are routinely being born & surviving at 23 - 24 weeks. A few at 21 weeks.
I have worked with PP for 45 years. I know the options and avenues to help. I wish they had.

We both agree with every single word you just wrote in that order.
We always have.
That’s my problem in this case.
There was no medical supervision.
My mind is blown that an adult woman, the mother, didn’t think that she could have been placing her daughter’s life at risk. She was. She did.
@f884fa2b
I don’t think we will ever know.
According to this article, daughter suffers from mental health issues & at the time they couldn’t have afforded a burial. She was pregnant due to an abusive relationship.
I’ve missed something, though. At the time the case was brought the law only prohibited abortions after 20 weeks. That’s why she was charged.
Personally, unless a doctor says, yes abortion is necessary, I don’t have a problem with a 20 week cut off.

Yes, we need another reminder.
Seriously.
Andrew Tate is not a good role model and he has far too many friends and adherents.

Even knowing I was absolutely revolted by some of the things the Prophet said (Spencer W Kimball) at the time, I had hopes for Mitt. I did.
I thought he had to be like the brethren I encountered at The Church, like my Home Teachers, and he’d surely do the right and good things for the people. The common man.
My heart sank with every vote of his. He was bought and paid for by big business.
What a shame.
Good Woden’s day.
It’s nice to finally start becoming the person you always wanted to be.
Early childhood trauma affected me greatly and led to me tamping down on all of the things that were the essential *me.*
I’ve been in therapy again and I am starting to be brave enough to finally be myself and it’s wonderful to live as the real me.
My authentic self who has been tamped down since I was three.
@f884fa2b
I agree with every single thing you said, except in *this* case.
The decision should always be between a woman & her doctor, even if her doctor has seen her for a video visit.
Abortion should be unrestricted during the first trimester, under medical care. 16 weeks & up, between a woman & her doctor.
Over that?
Ethical Dr’s have good reason to do late term abortions.
Medication isn’t safe after 11 weeks. This was unsafe medically unsupervised abortion.
