Medical bullying

I can't figure out what to say about this this article .......I just know it could all too easily have been my story. Given the vulnerable state a pregnant woman finds herself in when confronted by medical bullying, given no time to think, given no time to consider or investigate the possibilities of
a life worth living

  1. I think of this often...I was so sensitive and naive when i got Maddie dignosis and there insistantance of termination...I am glad we live 4 hours away and had time to think and talk and learn before we made a very hard decision! smiles

  3. I have so much respect and admiration for the women who find out while pregnant, have that choice, and then go on to choose life for their child. That takes such strength and courage.
    I was so scared and sad when Russell was born that I don't know what I would have chose if I had found out prenatally and Doctors had urged me to abort.
    That's why I feel God had a plan for me and for Russell. I feel that's why I didn't find out until after he was born.
    That was such a sad story to read. What a horrible regret to have to live with for the rest of your life.
