At what stage does a pregnant person stop being a human?
-
-
Two planned pregnancies here, resulting in one emergency and one planned c-section. I’ve had a D&C for a missed miscarriage and a LEEP for abnormal cervical cells. By far, the easiest recovery was the D&C.
-
I've been to hell and back to have babies, so I have no patience with the likes of Jason. Women rarely tell men about their pregnancy difficulties. We freely share our obstetric stories with other women, but not men.
-
It’s true. Gather any group of people who has previously been pregnant or might be pregnant and eventually the subject will turn to pregnancy and birth stories. Infertility stories, too. I’ve never shared stuff like that with cismen.
-
It’s something we should do more often, since there are so many men out there who are clueless about what pregnancy and birth involve. I had 2 relatively uneventful births and 1 gut-wrenching miscarriage. As painful as it is to remember, hiding these stories leads to ignorance.
-
I did not talk about my experiences for years while being an advocate for others. It's an invasion of my privacy. Most opponents of legal abortion assume I'm childless by choice, so they make total asses of themselves, as Jason did here.
-
I seldom share my experiences with anti-choice people. They assume I’m childless or that my pregnancies were traumatic and that’s why I don’t want to be pregnant in the future.
-
I'm guessing most assume I'm a naive young adult and easily influenced. They desperately try to get me (50 years old) to not have an abortion.
-
Antichoice never want to talk about my experiences as a teen mom. They wash their hands the second birth is complete.

Two pregnancies & deliveries (1 was a c-section), 2 D&C, 1 incident of obstetrical violence (6 episiotomy stitches without anesthetic because the Doctor hated teen moms.)

Oh my God! I am glad I was a practicing lawyer during my pregnancies. My doctor was out the morning I came in with a UTI and was 8+ months pregnant. I heard his partners whispering about me being a lawyer. I think I assured them I practiced in juvenile court, not malpractice.
-
I am sorry for what that doctor put you through. I'm afraid to ask what you did about him, because I know you were 18 and possibly in no position to do much about him.
-
I only found out this year that this doctor that delivered my child in the early 1980s hated teen moms and still practices. Haven't done anything yet. Considering sending in a complaint to protect current teen moms.

So... no, seeing how none of that qualifies you as the arbiter of who and who isn’t a person.
-
SCOTUS is the final arbiter in the USA, and has ruled on that legal issue. Women are persons under the 14th Amendment. Reed v. Reed. Embryos and fetuses are not persons. Roe v. Wade. Stay in your own lane.

Yes, but how is it, exactly, you know more than Jason? /s
