This is not about having an abortion.

This is about killing a viable infant that is nearly born.

I have heard both arguments from both sides and I say that there is nothing like personal experience. I have been there and it is true. I went to have a dialation and evacuation in the 28th week of pregnancy. I thought I was 25 weeks, and no one did tests to see if I was wrong. I went in ,then when I went home , then I started labor.

I had agreed to only go to the clinic if I started labor early, but problem is I was outside and a neighbor called 911.

I had a perfectly formed little boy and he lived. He was 28 weeks and was almost 4 pounds as well as being 17 inches long. I was told he was just tissue and not a baby when I saw him it was certainly not just tissue. I had done something awful wrong and realized it when it was almost too late.

My son is 6 now and healthy. So we aren't talking about tissue or a child that can't live without the mother it is about a child that could survive being born and has no need to remain in the mother. If her health is the isssue a c-section could be done and every effort to save the child can be administered.

Imagine killing a baby just before the head comes out or after the child is actually born then saying it was killed to save the health of the mother. How does an already born infant jepordize the health of the mother? It may inconvenience her and her plans, but endanger her health no way possible. If we were talking a 6 week pregnancy then I would have to ponder whether it is alive and has a soul and basic human rights.

But when it is 28 weeks old and other premies like him are born everyday and over 3/4 survive I would have to say that is another issue. That is to me murder and no medical reason is good enough to kill a baby that is being born or a baby that can reasonably survive outside the womb. I have been there and it is a sickening reality.

I cry when I look at my son and think of the day I will have to face him with what I had planned and let me say my health was not in danger nor was the baby abnormal in any way. I was just a single mom that a doctor had forced abortion as the only choice for you and how unfair it would be to have the child to my other two that already were alive, and how I would be stealing happiness from them, as well as bringing him into the world to face a father who is abusive.

Well the father is not around and my children are all equal in my eyes, it was wrong to force abortion down my throat, why was adoption or job training never brought to light or even temporary foster care?
