Straightforward, drama free abortion

[FineMom]

I know everyone’s different and possibly some women get upset by having an abortion. But my experience when I was in my early 20s was really fine. My partner was supportive. The whole thing was relatively free, it was also guilt free and stress free. I told my mother she was fine too and came to stay with me. There was no drama or doubt just a sense of relief that
I had access to this safe health care service.

I love the Archers and I know they need a story line but, AIBU to feel they have massively over milked this subject.
I remember when Lizzie Archer had one a few years ago and they treated the issue far more in line with my experience.

You know what else is natural? Cancer. Natural doesn't mean good.

Your mask is slipping dear.

You clearly got the above from a pro-'life' site because the wording and language used is hyperbolic and very emotionally manipulative. You've obviously been brainwashed to believe it and fallen for it.

Of course the research showing how dreadfully harmful abortion is gets hidden or bypassed, because conspiracies - how could I not have realised that? 🙄

Life does NOT begin at conception. It begins at sentience, which is not until around 23 weeks.

Life does NOT begin at conception. It begins at sentience, which is not until around 23 weeks.

And thats the truth.

To most women, having an abortion is not a big deal, and should be seen as no more a big deal or a taboo than a hip replacement or a cancerous tumour removal. Because it is not a human any more than a cancerous tumour (which also has 'its own body' and 'own DNA') is.

I dream of the day that having a termination is no more remarkable than having your gall bladder removed, a tooth removed, or any other surgery,

Don't get it either. I had one in my twenties. It was traumatic because it was forced on me by my then bf. the actual event was a simple d&c as I was 12 weeks. The emotion around the bf was the upsetting thing not the abortion, and now I know it was the right thing for me at the time so I don't have regrets

@minipie A foetus is still at foetus at 9 weeks. It's not a baby until it's born. Or, until at the very least, it has nerve receptors and sentience, which is in the third trimester.

You get on here a lot of drama for a 5 week foetus and I don't get that either. It's not a baby it's just an idea. If it's not the right thing then a hormone tablet and some discomfort and it's over. People who think it's right just do it and not regrets. None of this pearl clutching and outraged horror should go on

Having a c-section is not 'natural' but many women would die without this option, including me.
The only foolishness being spoken here is from you. Giving birth is far more dangerous than having a relatively safe termination. And most women feel relief not regret.

Yes @pointythings that was a horrific case what happened to Savita. Truly heartbreaking that something that has no brain stem or nerve receptors is more important than actual real life human being who does.

There is a lot more research that gets hidden or bypassed because abortion supporters/ clinics are so desperate to keep this facade going that they put millions into finding ways to justify killing another being and calling it 'safe'. Get tf out of here.

Hiddenby whom? And for what reason? Doo you have a link to these studies?

There is a lot more research that gets hidden or bypassed

This absolute conspiracy theorist rubbish. Pure, absolute, off-the-wall rubbish. The medical research is there that shows the lies that the pro-'life' (pro Gestational Slavery) put up are debunked, time and time and time and time again. The pro-Gestational Slavery side are desperate to hide the truth and facts born from actual science.

Carrying a baby in your uterus is NATURAL and we are made to be able to hold that weight in our bodies.

It might be 'natural' but it is not without enormous risk, and it is not an edict that every woman should have forced on them. We are made to have free will and choice. And human rights. That, is natural.

The truth will come to light either in this lifetime or after we die.

The truth has already come out. It's just that the deceitful pro-GS agenda is to silence any actual medical and scientific facts so they can easily manipulate the gullible.

but people wanting to stand up for babies who don't get a choice

Standing up for actual babies is good, but you aren't doing that. You are 'standing up' for a parasite, a blastocyst that has no nerve receptors and the sentience of a lamp post. And what about women, don't women get a choice? Or we're just broodmares and gestational slavery incubators to you, battery hens, with no choice and no human rights, and no rights to our health?

Agree to disagree as long as you agree to stop trying to destroy womens basic civil human rights.

You really need to post reliable medical links to show the things you are stating.

But even so - I don't think for one minute that in my termination of a six week pregnancy anyone went into my womb and tore the limbs off a baby (the cell collection at that stage would bit have had limbs anyway) and then reassembled it to make sure it was all there.

If it did happen, or does happen, I actually still don't care and think women have the right to choose.

So, now you have educated us, and I still have the same view.

I agree with you OP. I would have been the same if I'd have had an abortion. I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks once and I was sad as it was a planned pregnancy but I was more 'disappointed' sad rather than 'grieving' sad. I felt like it was a normal thing to have happened. I went back to work 3 days later and everyone was kind to me but not over the top. Many of the women had been through the same. It wasn't a big deal at all. I had a couple of cries and I was a more nervous when I next got pregnant but that was it.

I completely understand that other women feel differently and I completely understand that there may be lots of other things that make other woman's miscarriages more difficult to deal with. However, I think it's important to know that it's ok to feel fine about miscarriages just as it is to feel fine about abortions.

@Birdie002

You said on another thread that you come from a culture that views women as inferior and it really shows.

Vocalise more safe sex rather than how to take an innocent life please.

Patronising much.

@Birdie002 It NOT a 'barbaric act', it is NOT a 'vulnerable or innocent being', your emotional deceit and manipulations says a lot about you.

You've lied about statistics.

You've lied about abortion being barbaric. It is safer than a Colonoscopy, and 14 times less barbaric than childbirth.

You, are the one who is brainwashed. You've been caught out in your lies, because you are so brainwashed and so programmed, that you are now practicing gaslighting and DARVO.

It...IS....NOT....A....BABY. No matter how much you LIE. The ONLY innocent life is that of the actual human being, the woman, What is barbaric is expecting a woman to risk her health, and to risk dying. THAT is barbaric. Your views are sick, barbaric, evil and disgusting and I feel sorry for you that you are so brainwashed by the deceit and lies of the pro-gestational slavery agenda that you don't even have the ability to know truth from lies. You are truly beyond brainwashed, and your hate and callous disregard of the human rights of women shows your true colours. You really should be ashamed of yourself. There is no excuse for your callous barbarism and ignorance and lack of education in 2022.

Babies are a blessing regardless if you want one or not.

Thats just simply not true.

I am just a stranger on the internet but you are referring to YOUR own babies in such nasty ways. That's your flesh and blood that grew in your body, and you talk about that poor bub like it's a piece of dirt your wiping of your body.

It wasn't my baby, it was a clump of cells I wanted removed.

FOTTFSOFAWYGTFOSM.

I was also an innocent and vulnerable being. Stop making women like me feel guilty for abortions we had to have.

@Birdie002 babies are not a blessing if you don't want one.

@Birdie002 think how offensive that is. You going to tell a young girl pregnant from rape, where abortions are not obtainable, that her violated body is a 'blessing'?

Oh Birdie, you’re giving me a good laugh. Your reply to me was deleted before I could see it but I assume it was expressing outrage at not caring about the specifics of an abortion procedure and referring to a foetus as a parasite and concluding I must be possessed by Satan himself or something?

You’re not going to guilt people out of their own lived experience. A pregnancy is NOT a blessing if you don’t want a baby. Having a kid would’ve ruined my life. I’ll take being Satan any day over having a baby I don’t want.
