How is it any kind of argument to say “”I can’t imagine my life if I had my child”.

So? Try looking around at all the people who had children, including your parents. Duh.

There’s a movie that sometimes pops up. Name of it is “Doonby” made in 2013 starring John Schneider as a drifter who shows up in a town. His presence there affected so many people in clear, tangible positive ways (some saved lives, others saved futures)......all the ways his presence there are shown with interspersing segments of a young woman (from that town) and what her life had been like. Also shown is a little boy at that time, presumably him.

Clues like his answers to questions like “what kind of a name is Doonby?” and “where are you from?” are presented. And, as the movie begins its last ‘act,’ we are shown what REALLY happened if the drifter weren’t there. IIRC, the residents seem to remember something of the “what if he were there” but couldn’t put their finger on it. Finally someone figured out that “Doonby” actually meant “Nobody,” and that the drifter was the soul/presence/incarnation of the aborted baby by that young woman shown throughout the movie.

For me, it was a really very powerful movie. It never really got the attention it deserved, IMO. My guess is Hollywood and PP did their best to suppress it.
