Heartbreaking Thread: Pro-lifers don't like complexity.

6. My wife's placenta had attached too low

I came home one day to find her on the floor in a pool of her own blood. I thought she was dead. She was 5 months pregnant with our daughter. The hospital was only a 10 minute drive, especially at the speeds I drove. She lived thanks to modern medicine.

Mother and daughter lived and thrived. But she always said that she would never have made it through if she didn't know she could reach out to the lifeline of an abortion. Knowing she could ask the doctor, at any time, for an abortion to end the constant loss of blood, passing out and fear of death gave her strength to hold on just one more day. And each day accumulated until our daughter could be born.

This is why I am so determinedly against forced birth. Abortion saved my wife's sanity, gave her strength and brought us our beautiful girl.

Now Imagine being forced to experience that edge of death over and over again knowing each time could be the last. Knowing you have no choice, against your will, with no escape, to suffer and possibly die just because you were an American woman.
