‘The government does not belong here’.

Last year a friend of mine in USA needed an abortion at 21 weeks when her IVF pregnancy was found to be ‘not viable’. Her choices were to carry a baby to term that would never take a breath or travel interstate for a legal abortion. She chose the abortion and had to go alone. Its hard enough to make that decision but being forced to go through it by yourself is just sickening. Then when she got home and they decided their baby journey was over she was told it was illegal for them to donate their unused embryos to scientific research or dispose of them. Her only options were storing them (at great expense) indefinitely or disposal.

Trump and his cronies need to stay out of this one. This is not a ‘choice’ any woman makes for herself. This is only ever an unwanted situation forced upon them.

A bless them, what a hard decision to make ! Such a heart aching and heart breaking experience. I hope and pray that they get all the help, council and love they need from family and friends and are able to let go of other peoples inaccurate and offending idea’s about abortion.

Understand where you are coming from, but there is a flip side to this coin. Many abort late stage because they don’t want the baby, it’s not the right gender, they have changed their mind. And they are the ones who should have this termination stopped – not someone in your horrible predicament.

Heartbreaking … I admire their strength and willingness to share openly. Hopefully their words and thoughts can help someone else who might be going through something similar.

This is something you do not what to go through,wishing them both all the best for the future.

What a devastating experience for these parents, and very brave of them to share. A valuable insight into a dreadful situation. Wishing them all the best for the future. It is a very hard decision to make as I know in 1983 I had the choice of doing this for a different health reason of my 1st daughter.

So heartbreaking but I feel they made the right decision. Physically it is important to consider Lindsey’s health. Matt was involved in their mutual decision and it would have been heartbreaking for both them to have to make such a sad decision. Hopefully they will receive plenty of support from families, friends and the counselling they may need. They will go through a grieving process as other people do, including those in different circumstances.

heartbreaking, devastating. I don’t think I would be strong enough to make that decision, best wishes and healing to all that loved this little one ❤

What a shocking experience for this family! I’m so sorry for them. They were very brave to share this experience but I really doubt that Trump will learn anything from it.

That would be just awful. At twenty three weeks the little darling would be a perfect human miniature

I have experienced a miscarriage and know the heartache that goes with it so can only imagine the heartache that this couple must have gone through.
Sending all my love, prayers and strength.
RIP sweet bub ..heaven has another angel. xxx
