When There is No Good Choice

Sad story:

It took Mary Vargas six months and repeated hormone shots to get pregnant with her second child. “We were so excited,” Vargas, 35, remembers about the day she learned the treatments had worked.
“We wanted this baby with every fiber of our beings.” In February 2005, her husband brought a video camera to record their sonogram at almost 19 weeks, because, Vargas says, “we wanted to appreciate every moment of this child’s life.” The technician revealed they were having another son. But partway through the exam, she fell silent.
Concerned and scared, Vargas’s husband turned off the camera.

1. So sad.

My friend was pregnant with twins that died en-uterus. She ended up at an abortion clinic and it was a very horrible experience for her. Her Doc wanted her to continue the 'pregnancy' for as long as it took and deliver the dead babies. She just could not do it. She was one brave woman. People who have not been there should not make laws about things they know nothing about.

2. The stigma and demonetization of these later-term decisions must end.

What an awful story. The reality is that this IS the truth behind these types of decisions. Doctors and parents do not do this without reason and forethought and the best interests and compassion of all involved.

Peace to this family and all others like them. We MUST stop the attacks on these doctors and families.
