Actually, that very situation happened to me. I was a mushy-headed 19-year-old when I became pregnant by the man I was living with. He said that if I kept "it" I could find a new place to live. When I went to Planned Barrenhood they told me that "it" was "only tissue" and that I "could always have a baby later." I chose to have an abortion. I married the man I was living with. I became pregnant again a year later. He reacted the same way, but I told him I was keeping "it."
At 10 weeks (as God in his mercy would have it, the same age as my aborted baby) I was brought to Emergency for surgery to remove the baby and the fallopian tube which was bursting and killing me. The baby had been trapped in my fallopian tube as a direct result of my abortion, and that baby and tube had to be removed. There was simply no choice. As a result of my abortion, and of this and one other serious surgery (both related to it), I am now completely barren and childless.
Most doctors, including the converted Catholic abortionist who is responsible for the dissemination of so much info on this subject, Bernard Nathanson, do not refer to the removal of my fallopian tube and 10-week-old baby as "abortion." But the confusion of such terms on this heated topic is a way to get sound-bites of lies into the minds of a public unwilling or unable to investigate further.
When I was 29 I became born again by the power of the Name of Jesus Christ. I realized at that time that 1) I had murdered my own child by choosing abortion, 2) that Jesus died for that sin, too, and 3) I have two babies in heaven.
I’m sorry for your trouble. Another FReeper also mentioned ectopic pregnancy to me, which I suppose I never thought about as being a pregnancy, nor as an abortion, since in virtually all known human medical history, it results in the death of the baby. I suppose it’s a matter of how it’s looked at, and I never saw an unviable pregnancy of that type, to be an abortion. Thank you for taking the time to respond, I appreciate those who were willing to bring that up. Perhaps oneday we’ll be able to have artifical wombs (I know they have been working on this for many years), or into womb transplants in cases like that one you related, but we’re not there yet.
And thank you for the ping.
Someday you will be reunited.
