If Republicans had their way,I would be dead !!!

In 2004 I became pregnant,and although I wasn't exactly thrilled to be pregnant at the age of 38 I chose to have the baby.

5 Months into my pregnancy I started to get very ill,I went to my OB/GYN and discovered that there was no heartbeat and that the baby had been dead for several weeks and that was why I was so ill.

My body would not spontaneously abort and I had to have the fetus removed or risk death.

According to what I have been able to research,that would make no difference to those heartless woman hating bastards!!!!

They aren't just trying to take away our right to choose which is bad enough,they basically are saying that we as women are no more important than as a life support system for the uterus!!!


I am making sure I spread the word about what they are trying to do!!!

Your doctor did not perform an abortion; (s)he just removed a dead kid who wouldn't come out on his or her own. This is a big difference.

Most pro-lifers (except for the right-wing theocratic fanatics) would not consider this killing a baby, since the unborn kid/fetus was already dead. Sorry for your loss.
