Mom of 3 on the Anxiety of Getting an Abortion Under Texas' New Law: 'I Was Crying a Lot'
People ^ | October 29, 2021 | Julie Mazziotta

Posted on 10/29/2021 8:55:17 PM PDT by Morgana

When the test showed that Mariah Armonta was pregnant, she immediately knew she couldn't go through with it.

The Abilene, Texas-based mom already has three children at home that she takes care of by herself, and she had only just gone back to work as an in-home senior caregiver in April after her now-9-month-old daughter's arrival.

"My first thought is, I can't have this baby. I can't have another baby. I have three already and I do it by myself, and it's hard. I don't want to keep doing this by myself," Armonta, 25, tells PEOPLE. "And I barely started working again to support them. I just got it figured out, how to get everything done with three kids and work."

Her next panic was over whether she was within the first six weeks of pregnancy, in light of Texas' new, highly-restrictive ban on abortions. Armonta knew she had sex on Sept. 8 and Oct. 1, and when her period hadn't come by the 13th, she took a pregnancy test that initially came back negative.

"I thought maybe it just shifted due to stress from the kids and work and everything," she says. "But it still hadn't come so I took another one on the 19th and it was positive."

After seeing that second line, Armonta "was freaking out" that she wouldn't be able to get an abortion.

"I was like, 'Where am I going to go? What am I going to do?' " she says. "I was freaking out and crying a lot. I had been crying for days. I was just like, 'Oh my god, I don't know what I'm going to do.' "

Single mom of 3 can't take care of a 4th so she lays up and takes it like Jenna Jameson, gets pregnant, then cries because she can't get an abortion?

Girl please, don't have sex if you can't support them, it's clear you don't know what contraception is.

"My first thought is, I can't have this baby..."

Sorry, lady, but you're going to have the baby.
The only choice is: alive or dead.

She doesn’t seem embarrassed to have all her stupid out there in public.

Let's recast the words of the Alabama doctor who said he won’t treat unvaccinated people:

“...we do have great prevention against pregnancy with abstinence or, for those who aren't religious, prophylactics. Unfortunately, many have declined to take these routes, and some end up pregnant. I cannot and will not force anyone to abstain or use prophalyctics, but I also cannot continue to watch my patients suffer from an eminently preventable pregnancy...Therefore, as of October 1st, 2021, I will no longer perform abortions on women who have not abstained or practiced "safe sex"."

That’s a big part of our problem today - idiots are no longer embarrassed and there are thousands of ‘non-profits’ and politicians actively encouraging them.

I said that in the first comment just in a round-about way. I would have thought after 3 mistakes she would have had better sense but she has not.

Someday scientists will figure out what causes pregnancy, and ways to avoid it, before women have to resort to this.

Looks like abortion IS her “contraception.”

If shes a responsible single mom of three, how in the hell did she get pregnant?

What, she has zero personal responsibility?

Women have a monumental number of birth control options. They can also not have sex. Lord knows married men know that one.

After having three kids, you’d think she’d know how not to get pregnant again.

If she was in Gavin Newsoms’ California, she could sue her Boyfriend for removing his ‘Raincoat’ w/o telling her first.
Oct. 7, 2021 California became the first state to outlaw
‘Stealthing’, a slang term for nonconsensual removal of a condom during s*x.
