about those- babies "aborted" at birth.

4. I too, know people who have gone through this

once you have a pregnancy loss, you meet all sorts of people who do and you realize how common it really is.

I know people who have terminated pregnancies because of terrible diagnoses and people who have carried doomed pregnancies to term. They all felt the pain of losing a wanted child.

And these right wing douchebags think it is OK to turn tragedies into political fodder.

I am so f-ing tired of these...people. (There are many other profane words I could use, but I'm trying to swear less, which is hard these days)

ETA: Another thing about carrying a pregnancy that you know isn't going to end happily: it is agony to the expectant mother, even having made the decision to continue. Everyone comments, ask when they are due, and there is a decision to be made any time: stock answer about due date or the truth...and sometimes it ends with having a breakdown in front of a total stranger because it is just too much to bear. At least one of my parenting after loss friends has had that happen.
