And if your wondering about a child’s emotions at 26 months old. Three days after the delivery of her brother and back at home putting her down to sleep without our usual routine. I explained to her that bubby died and was not coming home. The sound she made was the same sound I made when the cowardly doctor was unable to say the words that my baby was dead. I had to say them out loud

This is heart wrenching.

I am so sorry.

I’m so sorry that there have been so many cruel people responding to your post.

It had been several years since this whole thing happened, and I understand this is an issue people are very passionate about. There has also been an equal amount of understand and supportive posts. The reason for sharing the story would be completely lost if I started responding to all the critical posts.

That's because it's an alter account, that just signed up yesterday

I figured that part was pretty obvious. The main reason for the alter is due to people on here who know me and work with my wife.

She doesn't want our business brought to her work.

I'm very aware what she looked like. We held her and sobbed together after the procedure.

We had her cremated and I put her ashes under a tree I planted in our backyard.
I love to read the success stories.huge praise to you guys and your beautiful young man.

Unfortunately our prognosis was much more complicated than the typical (if there such a thing) HLHS.

Abortion on demand was legal in literally all 50 states until yesterday morning

at 22 weeks? this is simply not correct.

No one like this was there in our case. I don't imagine a ton of guys like that actually attend the procedure.

nd no way we could have afforded the medical bills that would ensue
I know it sucks to say, but this reality is a part of our decision that we had to discuss.

If your wife's left boob were to fall on a food scale that was set to measure in grams, what would the scale read?


I don't know exactly. less than the right one :dunno:

How much money do you make, before taxes

enough to live comfortably. not enough to easily afford current gas prices.
No, at the time, we read tons of stories related to our condition. Positive and negative. Whether you agree with it or not, we made an informed decision.

While your situation was terrible, you are not the norm. Not even in the 1%.

I understand that. The .1% should have the option easily available though.

Battle for what? Because just a few months ago the battle was to remove the term mother and make it birthing person because men could also give birth.


this is a non sequitur.
quote:

Nothing that happened last Thursday has changed anything that you just mentioned.

I know, but you are being obtuse if you think yesterday's decision isn't the beginning of a new battle.
quote:

And yet you have thrown your daughter under the bus twice in this thread.

Do you?

I don't think that the factors we considered related to a decision like this are considered a cop out. Maybe you do, and that's fine.

We are aware that we took away her shot. We are aware that we are the ones who ended her life, not her disease. I hold no delusions about what we did.
quote:

Have you and the wife had a discussion and come to a decision to tell your daughter that she was going to be a sister when she is age appropriate?

Not yet. I think it is something we are going to have to talk to our children about (we have since had another child) when they start their family planning as this heart defect is likely a genetic deformity and something they need to be aware of.

I feel like this is a fake story that is supposed to make me feel bad for being pro life. Particularly given he shared a link to other stories.


100% real
quote:

m not sure how thats supposed to be merciful as this is trying to be portrayed as.
never claimed it as merciful. I'm just trying to draw awareness to the reality of situations that are brushed aside as "oh, that only like 0.1% of all abortions though."
quote:

You need to accept that this was 100% your decision and your consequence
We do. We tried therapy afterwards but neither of us found it very helpful.

Ultimately, we feel bad about our decision and the entire situation, but do not regret our decision.

But I do hope stories like yours don't get completely overlooked in the times to come.

That is really the intent of my decision to post this here.

Why would there be a push for this?


because that is what the news is reporting that house republicans have their sights on after yesterday's ruling.
