A woman posts in the abortion subreddit saying that she’s 33 weeks pregnant. She initially was actually excited about being pregnant, and she went to a regular OB. While she was there, she said, “Lo and behold, a mini human—arms, legs, a head. It was such a clear picture of a baby.”
She was excited about it until around 15 weeks pregnant. She started to feel not so excited.
Now, at 33 weeks pregnant, she says, “I’m just weeks away from giving birth, and as awful as I feel about it, my mind keeps floating back to the thought of, ‘I wish I had gotten an abortion.’” Then she goes on to express her depression, her concern, and her fears about the pregnancy.
And then, very helpfully, one of the mods for the abortion subreddit says, “If you do want to get an abortion, you can still do that. Is that something you’d like to learn more about?”
And the mod is right. There are not only places in the country where it’s legal to abort at any stage in pregnancy, but there are also places with clinics that will do it for no medical reason.
You can find quite a few accounts like this on the abortion subreddit, and not just women thinking about how they wish they had gotten an abortion, but women getting the specific details and the tens of thousands of dollars to get abortions this late, and women coming back afterward to talk about their experiences getting abortions this late. Some of them talk about how they just didn’t realize how brutally hard it would be. Others have been talking not about how hard it was, but just about how they got through it.
And if your response to all this is, “Reddit’s not a source. Maybe all these different accounts are just making it up for whatever reason,” that’s fine. We list a bunch of sources here, including peer-reviewed academic sources, including interviews of abortion providers talking about performing later abortions for no medical reason.
The information is out there. If you don’t want to look at it, that’s on you.

FReepers do the mods over at reddit work for Planned Parenthood?
Who knows, but it would guess YES!!!
They are not above anything!
Are you kidding? Lenin is too conservative for reddit.
Give us the baby. We’ll take excellent care of it. Arrrgh. Somehow, put this woman in touch with me.
My 18 year old son was born at 28 weeks. Abortion at 33 weeks? Horrible. Well, at anytime is horrible.
I don’t know how depraved humanity was before the great flood, but it couldn’t have been much worse than now.
Why wouldn’t she just give it up for adoption IF she really didn’t want to keep it?
Didn’t want the labor pains and the down time from “her life”.
The real problem is not the availability of abortions.
The real problem is why a potential Mom who initially wanted the baby now does not?
Did the father bolt?
Financial burden?
Just doesn’t want the responsibility?
Etc.
And if she doesn’t want the baby, isn’t having it and putting the child up for adoption far better than killing the baby? (Nothing in this case is said pointing toward an undue medical risk for the Mom-to-be. Nor is anything indicated about rape being an issue.)
If the Mom has the child, and ends up keeping it but resenting it, that can go wrong in a lot of very bad ways - perhaps even lethally bad, years later. The adoption route is far better. It is not “free” in various respects, but, this girl made a choice with some guy, and now she needs to live up to a certain amount of responsibility for it. (That’s the gentlest way I can put it.)
But in reality if you are at 33 weeks and do not want to keep your child, just put the child up for adoption. The child will be adopted very quickly.
Yes, I know. The people who cry about, "all the children in foster care" a good 90% of those children are not available to be adopted. Parental rights have to be severed. And that can be a nightmare.
The ones that are available for adoption are often older and you will need to foster them for a while before you can begin the adoption process. And during that time the child may be taken away from you for any or no reason.
Oh good because Reddit has an annoying policy of nixing posts they don’t agree with.
Birth the baby, abort the mother. Let a couple wanting a child adopt the infant. Three problems solved.
Classic.
You know you're just going to turn around and sell it to the Sinaloa Cartel.
They pay high for light-skinned and undamaged.
Many mothers feel the same way.
But then they give birth to beautiful, healthy babies and fall in love with them! And they raise them to be good people!
I believe was a time most women looked forward to having a new life growing inside her. After it the baby was born watching it grow from babyhood to adulthood gave them a sense of fulfillment. Now it seems to be ... oh no, I’m pregnant and can’t do fun things anymore ... where is the nearest abortion clinic so I can be set free?
The above is based on my observations of my wife having three children and many of the women we knew that raised children.
You’re sick. No, we would rear the child.
