When they first started talking about abortion; it was
touted as being a “safe and rare” solution NOT for birth
control. However, we all know that BIRTH CONTROL is ALL it
is. I was just a kid myself when they started talking about
“legalizing” it. - I had a son at 19; then three years
later had a miscarriage when pretty far along; then a year
later I had a Down Syndrome baby who died after surgery
for a blockage at six weeks. - I would hope I wouldn’t have
chosen to abort him even if I’d been told I could in order
to have a “perfect” baby. He WAS perfect! This idea of
getting shed of anything that “embarrases” us is STUPID.
EVERYONE has a right to live! - I didn’t risk having
any more children as my husband had temporarily thrown me
away when he met a woman at work who was a “paragon of
perfection”. I begged him to stay with me as our son was
only 8 yrs. old at the time and I had no idea how I would
make it alone. - He used to go over to her apartment when
he was supposed to be at work and belly up to her nasty
table and suck down a stinking tv dinner because she was
“too good” to cook and swill down a beer with her when his
parents were teetotalers and wouldn’t have put up with her.
If I had put a tv dinner down in front of him; ;he would
have pitched a fit. - I don’t know where the woman is now.
She’s as OLD as I am and I imagine she has had a few
lessons in life over the years if some woman hasn’t shot
her before this.
Thanks for sharing your story,Twinkie.
The loss of a child at six weeks must have been so hard to bear.
Then the betrayal of your husband.
You are a very strong woman.
