I have known two women who have had a similar experience, pamom. The men on this thread don't know what they are talking about.

They would be just as happy to let the woman AND the baby die.

Thank you. This is just too close to home, I guess.

I have a friend on the other side. She just adopted a lovely son from an 18 year old with the guts to stick it out. I have nothing but awe and love for that girl.

But you men have to remember: she will think of that child always, whether she had aborted it or given it to a loving home. Most of us women know that live begins at the moment of conception. But we know the other pains and loves that come with that. Makes it both easy and hard to judge.

There are personal anecdotes that may stray a bit from the reality of the situation at the time.

Modern medicine does wonders ~ and all without abortion! No one dies anymore unless, of course, they go see the butcher in Topeka!
