This. With strobe lights. |
In 1984 my s.o. at the time miscarried at about 5 months. I was nearby and saw the doctor carry out a pan with something red in it. There was definitely an emotional factor. Even though I knew I wasn't ready to be a dad, it was still sad.
I know it's a different situation than choosing not to carry to term. Sometimes Bad Things happen, people make hard decisions, but I really don't think anyone just shrugs off these things. Maybe they do. Maybe one person's heartbreak is another person's equivalent of a stubbed toe.
For my part I'm pissed off at the deliberate attempt at emotional manipulation by people who put up anti-choice billboards. I can see how one response would be to deny that any such emotion exists. |
I missed this....this is an honest response.
