Men and Pro-Choice
posted in Frenzied Daddy |I’m pro-choice. I mean, duh. As this author says, I’ve decided that I, personally, will never have an abortion. To borrow the logic from the original post, while this is absurd because I will never be pregnant (for more reasons than one), it also emphasizes my belief that it’s a personal choice, made by the woman.
That author, however, found himself in the position where his pregnant wife was hemorrhaging, her blood pressure was down to 60/40, and she was getting delirious from the drugs. The doctors decided that she wasn’t fit to make medical decisions, and turned to him with a clipboard. He had to decide whether to possibly watch his wife and the baby die or to sign the contract allowing the doctors to abort the baby. (As it turns out, he was spared the decision, after a fashion; she became slightly dialated, in which case it’s “game over”.)
Gripping read, and something every parent-to-be should consider, biology notwithstanding. And perhaps long chats into the middle of the night; where do you draw the line with regards to saving your lover’s life?
