There's plenty of medical information out there surrounding complications where abortion is the proper solution to save the mother's quality of life. There are also people out there that get pregnant just to get an abortion to brag about getting one.
It doesn't really matter to me why women get abortions, I think they should still be allowed regardless of the reasons. But I can understand why that might rub some people the wrong way.
There aren't outside of strawmen made up by propaganda sites (which aren't good sources for anything except content for this thread when they do shit like call literally brainless fetuses "disabled").
You're right, it's not really on topic. I do wish some of the mothers shown on this thread hadn't been so against abortion, it would have been a lot more humane.
It sounds like her first pregnancy was terminated because she had hyperemesis, which didn't happen with her other pregnancies.
I encountered a few alleged examples of the latter as a teenager. I think most of them were bragging about it to get attention, and TBH were probably virgins. (I'll never forget the girl who stopped bragging after I told her boyfriend, who was bullying me, that he was a baby killer in front of the class. That was one of my proudest moments - really. He was a piece of crap, and so was she.)
Sadly some BPD people will do this as a means of attention or control. I've only run into 2 or 3 though luckily so its quite rare.
I couldn't find the post about him in the thread, but apparently Born Abel is also a group that exists to highlight and normalize the humanity, worth and abilities of all babies and children born with complex health conditions... by publishing colorful children’s books highlighting kids with medical complexities throughout the world.
If only you knew how bad things really are
Yeah "medically complex" is a euphemism they use a lot, probably because it's vague and doesn't specify the condition being largely/completely fatal. They're openly butthurt about "incompatible with life", even though I'd say dying in infancy is pretty fucking incompatible with life.
When I think of a medically complex child, I think of a type 1 diabetic with a feeding tube, as the best example that someone easily understands. Someone becomes medically complex when you start installing tubes and buttons and more stuff, but it is a choice in a way that a DM1 child with dire gastroparesis just needs the feeding tube and close monitoring.
"fun" fact: depending on how far along she was, she may have to be induced and give birth to the dead baby (when it's too far along it's not possible to do a D&C, not without dismantling the foetus anyway). Caesarians are avoided because obviously surgery has risk, and also to avoid a permanent scar that's a reminder of their stillbirth.
Yeah to me medically complex means a kid with medical issues, but that still has a quality of life and doesn't have a lethal condition.
Nice six-fingered hand.
