abortion stories up from comments

A couple of comments to this post that definitely deserve to be read more broadly:

From Math ABD:

A few years ago a very dear friend was pregnant. The fetus died in the 8th month. Because the procedure is so controversial, no one around knows how to do it (or they're not willing to say so). She had to have labor induced and deliver a dead baby. In the maternity ward. With lots of live births and happy mothers all around. Yeah, this is a great measure for women.

From Julie:

MathABD... That's what I did too, labor and delivery of a child in the 7th month (although mine was different, the baby wasn't dead, we simply knew he was going to die) on the maternity floor. It was three days of absolute hell, and although it was the option I felt most comfortable with, there is no way in hell I would ever tell another woman she had to go through it. EVER. It was horrible on my body and it was devestating to hear the women in labor with happy, healthy births. Women need options, and to have a safe procedure taken off the board is mindboggling to me. If Kyle had already been dead, I absolutely would've just wanted the D&X.

Anyone who can ignore stories like this doesn't deserve to have an opinion about women's health and reproductive decisions.
