  1. Turning 18 and then immediately losing my right to an abortion is probably one of the worst memories of my life.

  2. >Ledbetter said she had seen a 10-year old become pregnant after her mother’s boyfriend sexually assaulted her, with the mother’s knowledge. “Her little body was unable to carry the pregnancy, and she started to have a uterine rupture before the fetus was at a viable gestation.” The complications of preterm labor and uterine rupture necessitated a C-section to save the child’s life; the fetus did not survive. “An abortion would have saved this 10-year-old child great suffering and trauma for the rest of her life,” Ledbetter said.

    I fucking hate this. I don’t care what someone claims to believe about *life at conception; at the point where your beliefs are leading to a raped child having to try childbirth and survive, you have lost the fucking plot. Your moral code isn’t broken, it′s disintegrated. You’re an accessory to some of the most grotesque forms of child abuse imaginable.

    >!*(yeah horse shit; a fire rages in a lab with dozens of frozen embryos or one fully grown kid, who′s getting saved?)!<
