BMW Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 another UPDATE: Her abortion was again postponed! Today she is having her ultrasound, without an abortion following it. I will let you know what she decides when we hear from her. I would have posted sooner, but she hasn't been in contact with us much... THANK YOU.

Pamela H in Texas Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 It's a wonder so many are murdered if postponing abortions is common. I can see someone making the decision and jumping in but trying to harden your heart to killing multiple times would seem to save a lot of lives! I wonder if people had to have several sessions over a couple weeks of ultrasounds, counseling, development info, etc if they'd still kill their babies. Or would they not get up the nerve to work towards that goal if it were so emotionally and spiritually challenging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will let you know what she decides when we hear from her. I would have posted sooner, but she hasn't been in contact with us much... THANK YOU. Praise the Lord!!! and thanking Him for providing an ultrasound for her without the abortion scheduled. Doing a major happy dance, and continuing to pray. And a deep, heart felt thanks to you BMW, and your dd, for being a support to this girl. Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a friend of mine had an infant and got pregnant again immediately...she drove to the abortion clinic and found them inexplicably closed that day. Thankfully, she then reconsidered and now has a grown son to show for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthiopianFood Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 This is wonderful!! Do you know how far along she is? Hopefully far enough that she will see something that will stir her heart at the ultrasound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melinda in VT Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 BMW posted an update yesterday. Her daughter's friend took the abortion pill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 There was an update on another thread--the teen decided to take the abortion pill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Wow, it wasn't too late for that? And I was told that the pill would only work as emergency contraception (I didn't take it, thank God) That you can conceive up to 7 days after intercourse and it would prevent that.

Tree House Academy Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) That is heartbreaking. They make it so easy..."here, take this pill, you will bleed a bit and that is all." :( :( What happened to wire coat hangers and crazy doctors? I am sure if a teen had THAT to face, I bet it wouldn't be so EASY. Okay, that was harsh...but really? Can it get much easier???? ETA: The poster below made a good point. I would not want it to be "hard" for someone who had a baby that they wanted that would suffer and not make it to their birthday. :( That is so sad! And what a hard choice it must be for a parent in that place. :( I guess maybe I just wish it were harder for teens who "messed up" to make life ending choices.

And I was told that the pill would only work as emergency contraception (I didn't take it, thank God) That you can conceive up to 7 days after intercourse and it would prevent that. When I was scheduled for my abortion, the doctor gave me a pill (or maybe two) that I was to take the night before or early morning of, to start the cervix dilating before the procedure. (It's been about four years now, and I didn't actually take the pills, so I might be slightly off.) This was for an abortion at around 13 weeks. (To answer the obvious questions--we were considering abortion because we were told our baby had a <1% chance of being born alive, and would not survive his birthday in any event. Subsequent tests proved the initial diagnosis incorrect.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melinda in VT Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Wow, I had no idea that they had pills that worked that late in pregnancy! Well, at least in my case, the pill was only the first step.
