I was amazed that I could get pregnant at all after that.

There are mitigating circumstances in this case. It’s not as black-and-white as `convenience’ or `inconvenience’. It sometimes can be, but that is rarely the case. It is not fair to get up onto the moral pedestal and make judgements based on one post without knowing this woman or anything about her or her life.

This is one of those situations where the rights, safety, health and security of the mother outweigh that of the child. I doubt that this has been an easy decision - and I certainly doubt that she thought `oh jeez. This is just such a PAIN. I'm gonna have an abortion cos that'll make my life easier'. I really doubt that.
As I said before. My youngest son was born at 21 weeks gestation, he weighed one pound nine ounces and was 10.6 inches long when he was born. I was deployed shortly after she got pregnant. She was high risk since we first found out she was pregnant. She was bed ridden before she got into the second trimester, and I mean sponge baths and using a bed pan.

When he was born early I was sent home to help her out. He spent four months in the NICU, and a month and a half in the transactional ward. At three days of age they took him off the vent and placed him on a CPAP, two days later he developed nymphomania. And had to be placed back on the vent, he spent the next two months having a machine breathe for him.

Her life was in danger the whole time. My son will be two years old soon.

Should she had gotten an abortion?

And if you would read my post again, you will see that I did not judge her, but I did tell her what it sounded like.

You're equipping them to become violent killers.
