(40 posts)One of the reasons Roe/Wade passed was that so many women were dying from abortions. My best friend's mom died from one and she grew up without a mom.
I had an abortion before it was legal. What I did was tell my doctor I'd kill myself if I was forced
to have a baby I didn't want. He asked me if I'd say that to a head shrink and I said yes. So I had to see a head shrink, told him yes I'd off my self, and they approved me for a therapeutic abortion at Stanford. There were quite a few women there also getting therapeutic abortions. This was quite soon after the Thalidomide drug issue that caused so many birth defects and women were denied abortions after they took it and then they birthed babies with no legs, arms and many other horrible birth defects.
If anyone cares about women keeping their rights of choice, please come out and vote in Nov and in all elections. Women, we aren't just voting for our protections, but for future generations. Do you want a daughter, granddaughter etc. to be forced to carry a baby from rape, incest, birth defects etc. The only one who should decide is a woman, her doctor and not the Republican party. If you care, VOTE Blue!!!
