Why I had an abortion after 20 weeks

5. I am so sorry

I am so sorry for your loss. My son would have been 32 this Nov. He was born at 28 weeks and lived a life of hell till we chose to remove him from life support. About 2 months after his death was the case of the DS child whose parents wanted to withhold cardiac surgery and the conservatives went nuts. As if they knew how hard the decisions parents have to make for their child.
It makes me so angry that these men( and women) feel they have a right to tell women what they can and cannot do with their bodies and a fetus. They would fight for a parent to withhold life saving treatments for a child if it was a religious reason, but abortion? No way, no how.

If I were in your place I would have made the same choice. Women and men need to fight for the right of a mother and her partner to make the choice that is right for them
