Your question about my choice has a very dramatic answer. This is your warning not to read it.
My big sis was further along in her pregnancy than I was. She woke up one day to not feeling the baby move at all. Long story short, the baby had died. My sister was unable to get treatment the regular way due to insurance stupidity, and doctors vacations.
Mind you having a known dead baby inside you is bad for you both physically, and emotionally. My big sis ended up walking into a planned parenthood type place ( it may have even been PP), and told them the baby was dead, and she couldn't get a D&C.
She had an abortion. The baby had been known to be dead for 5 days. They gave her better treatment, and care than the obgyn office that were willing to be policy bitches at the cost of my sisters life. ( doctors were available, but not the right insurance).
I'm not from Texas, and my medical history makes me a woman that has been offered abortion to very late term.
But, I think you can understand that experience above while I was in the first trimester gave me a different perspective than not wanting kids because I have too many younger siblings.
An abortion for a dead baby? Scientifically I struggle with this. The body naturally rejects it. It might need medical help, if it's further along. Sometimes there are complications on it. Although not often, it drops out quickly, it isn't developing. The procedure is not called an abortion. That baby is aborted, miscarried, it was already dead. Yes it is absolutely devasting to lose any pregnancy, by miscarriage. But suggesting you need an abortion for miscarriages is wrong.
Also I understand your youth and studies. It affects your life and image immediately. But again why not plan and makes sure you have contraception, when fertile, if it isn't right then at the time. I do also understand your youth. Care free, it can't happen, until it does. But it does. Why run to a hospital to stop something you could have done yourself much easier beforehand by simple contraception? An inconvenience maybe. But instead of all that regret. It's huge. Something there, all that worry, not right, costs abortion, then more regret after. Until it kinda hardens you. That experience. Wouldn't it. I mean how would it make you feel, if you didn't have your son? Sure it's easier to blame it could've been different. But it what it is. It wouldn't be any different? Honestly.
The word, " abortion" is a medical term with a specific definition. More people need to learn this. Suggesting that something you don't understand is wrong is asinine.
This is why laws about this topic are written so poorly, female reproductive health isn't the lawmakers area of expertise.
I had both my children while on bc. And, my ExHusband only had one scrotum. Birth control failures are very high when you consider what 1+% of the number is. I tried 3 different methods, and not one of the three worked for my body.
You ask entirely to many, " what if?" questions for a good faith discussion. No mother in their right mind would say online that they would have aborted their children that are alive, and no longer a thought experiment.
Hang on. An abortion is a termination. I don't know what you yanks call it. A miscarriage isn't an abortion. If the miscarriage has complications by often being advanced. It's still a miscarriage despite of similar abortion procedures on removal. They are often unnecessary, but sanitary. Unnecessary because the body rejects it, naturally. But it needs support, emotions, help, and care. Help sometimes where did it go. Horror stories of the dog ate it, or it got buried under the barn.
Yes planning if only you had that knowledge first. Tests like okay, you and your partner are health checked, then compatible for it. Life doesn't always work like that. Love is what it wants. But honestly, why not be careful. Instead as you're admitting to me. You couldn't ask any mother later what she'd choose. So tell me why you're considering later? Life is what it is.
abortion, the expulsion of a fetus from the uterus before it has reached the stage of viability (in human beings, usually about the 20th week of gestation). An abortion may occur spontaneously, in which case it is also called a miscarriage, or it may be brought on purposefully, in which case it is often called an induced abortion. Spontaneous abortions, or miscarriages, occur for many reasons ...
