a Topic From the Pro-life Forums Posted: 01-23-06 13:35pm
This is in relation to something that
annoyed me off of the pro-life forum.
In the hopes of keeping hte peace and
repecting their privacy, I have posted my
opinion (and the facts to support it) over
here. I'm also going to post this in
the pro-choice forum, I like it so much.
Alright... There are other conditions
besides ectopic pregnancies that are life
threatening! The pro-life post I
believe said something along the lines of
ectopic being the only one, or there being
no other reason to ever abort except for
in the case of an ectopic.
So, here is information regarding other
life-threatening situations for pregnant
mothers.
the effects of
pregnancy: this one is sure to make
pro-life mad, but it has so much good
information that I suggest it to everyone.
Apparently the link doesn't work that
way, so here's the actual address for your
de-capitalization and reading pleasure: http://www.Gate.Net/~liz/li
z/004.Htm
you're going to have to copy that one into
notepad or something, because earthlink
automatically redirects to a 404 page, and
doesn't retain the original address in the
address bar. But this site is really
good, so it's worth the effort!
What about a pregnant woman that was
kicked heavy-duty in the stomach and the
fetus would not have made it or what about
a fetus that is missing certain organ
parts that cannot be replaced. What
about an iud that was seen in the fetus'
head. What about choice, not everyone
needs to know the reasons why. Their
are special kids out their that cannot
even take care of themselves how can they
take care of a baby, or a terminal patient
or someone that is going through chemo.

i was looking for situations where the
mother herself was at risk of death (and
sometimes the fetus too) not situations
pertaining solely to the fetus. I'm
pro-choice too remember! Of course there
are many, many good reasons to abort. I
just felt like pointing out that there are
other situations besides ectopic that
threaten the mother's life directly.

When a forum that I frequent is up and
running once again, I will be able to post
a larger, more exhaustive list of not only
the things which arise only
within pregnancy that can kill the .Woman
but also those things which arise only
within pregnancy and scar the .Woman (or
render her infertile) for life.
My sister had gestational diabetes during
her pregnancies and it affected much more
than just her blood sugar.
A friend of mine has pre-existing problems
with epilepsy and cannot survive an
unplanned pregnancy for long as it will
exacerbate her illness. She has to plan
her pregnancies, literally, years in
advance so that she can take the proper
medication regimens. An unplanned
pregnancy left unknown for any length of
time will put her life in danger. She
buys pregnancy tests every month and tests
five days prior, two days prior, day of,
and then every day thereafter if her
period does not arrive.
My other sister, the fool, had severe
blood pressure problems when she was in
labor. They were mere seconds from
rushing her to the or for a c-section when
she finally stabilized.
I know several .Women who were having
"normal" pregnancies until they suddenly
miscarried, without illness and without
warning. My aunt, my voice teacher from
freshman year of college, my sister (the
fool - though she may have done something
to make herself miscarry), my highschool
government teacher (the one who encouraged
me to go to law school), and my best
friend from highschool who unexpectedly
had a stillbirth when we had just turned
20.

I surely would not want to be born without
my mother. Mother's mean sooo much I
have heard sooo much from people who have
lost and do not remember their mother at a
very young age and it was pure hell for
most of them!
