In reply to the discussion: Rep. Joe Walsh: Abortion never saves mom's life [View all]lark
(23,083 posts)I am one of those who had a baby after being told I might not live through it. I had an abortion when I was in my teens due to this fact. Later, when I was in my early 30's, I, with my doctor's support, decided to try and have a family. I knew the risks and was willing to take the chance at that time in my life. I could then afford to spend the entire pregnancy out of work if necessary. I survived my first baby and thought I could do the same with 2nd. Nope. I officially died twice on the table having my beautiful daughter. If I hadn't been close to a hospital, I wouldn't have survived. Any woman with my very rare condition who was not totally driven to have a family should not be made to have children as it is extremely dangerous to her health.
