I tried so hard not to comment on this post, but I can’t shake it. Holding the hand of a family member while she sobbed because she had eclampsia and her baby had been diagnosed as having his intestines growing in his lungs, supporting her while she decided to end the yearned for pregnancy was brutal. We tried desperately to find prenatal surgery to correct the problem, but the baby would never take a breath. I get that Ms. Charen wants her to walk around for five months being congratulated for her upcoming bundle of joy while waiting for the birth/death. But when she was in danger and did not want to leave her born daughters without a mom, she took care of her body. And her family.

I sincerely hope she never reads any pundits who claim that all abortions are moral failures. She didn’t even know that it was considered an abortion until months later.

We all know women who have been through such tragedies, whether those people feel comfortable sharing with us or not.

Pro-Choice does not mean pro-abortion. It means, support women and children and stay the heck out of legislative control before more women are forced to adhere to somebody else’s rigid, righteous ethics and morals and die.
