This is a grossly wide paintbrush that you simply cannot rationally know. There are billions of people on the planet, and you think not one has ever absolutely needed an emergency abortion to prevent further complications to the mother? You must be lucky to think such a way. My family member had a healthy baby until one appointment, there was no brain. Skull enlarged. Genetic testing, profoundly rare anomaly called hydranencephaly. One of 30 cases (documented)) in the world. Had to do emergency delivery immediately, or medical abortion. Doctors recommended medical abortion over delivery due to high risk to the mother. Even the doctors didn't know what to expect because it was such a rare condition. If they hadn't caught it when they did, who knows what would have happened. The body is actually supposed to miscarry a baby with trisomy 6, but I guess my family member was too healthy and too full of motherly love. She was second trimester. She didn't want any of it, in denial and shock, but she was scared and she couldn't go through with delivering, emotionally. She did a medical abortion and it was even more harrowing, as she said the place was sick, demonic, and they wouldn't allow her husband in with her. She had to be surrounded by careless "women" who just didn't give a rats ass about anyone else but themselves, while she was being forced to say goodbye to her only child. Afterwards with more genetic testing, they confirmed trisomy 6, which is incompatible with life. That wasn't a life anymore than a plant is a life. God took that baby away from her well before her procedure.
If you think there is no risk to the mother going into an abortion clinic and having her living, feeling child in the 2nd trimester torn apart limb from limb without anesthesia to the child (because that's how they do it at that stage) as compared with a C-Section delivery in a medical setting, then accompanying the child in its dying process, you are very mistaken. Perforation of the uterus in 2nd trimester abortions are very frequent. Also, hydroencephaly is NOT profoundly rare. People deliver their innocent babies with this condition all the time, and choose to hold their children until natural death. You said, "That wasn't a life anymore than a plant is a life." WOW You know what, human beings don't suddenly lose their humanity because of a handicap or a developmental defect. I can't even believe you wrote such a thing. But I guess, tell yourself what you want to, since it was a family member. But that doesn't make it right or accurate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysl1tRnk-ig
I'm sorry to hear about your family's tragic outcome. There are more cases like that than most people know.
The general population is largely ignorant of all the things that can go wrong in pregnancy unless they work in the field or have experienced it themselves, or know someone who has.
I aim to hopefully persuade people to become more educated on the things they have such strong opinions about.
I also hope to get people to look at things from various perspectives and to remember to have empathy for their fellow man.
Thank you for adding your experience to this post.
