re: #261 Gus 802

You make it sound so simple. What if this woman in your imaginary and rare scenario was forced by her husband or boyfriend to have this abortion. Did that possibility ever cross your mind? Clearly you are talking about illegal acts anyway since most late term abortions are illegal and are only done under the closest of scrutiny. This of course is frequently contested by the anti-abortion extremists and zealots. Unless of course you are relying on the allegations from the the latter.

This happened to me in 1989. I became pregnant. (before my first stroke) and my then husband insisted, literally that I get an abortion. I called Planned Parenthood and made an appointment to talk with the counselor. The night before the scheduled appointment, I miscarried. I called and canceled. The lady tried to get me to come in anyway, to simply talk about all options. I know now, that she was trying to help me get out of an abusive marriage. *(She had heard my now-ex on the phone and how verbally abusive he was being)

Some people don’t believe that you can be forced to have an abortion by a husband/boyfriend/other. It can happen. It does happen.
