ME. This happened to me.My husband is a federal employee, so we are covered by the Hyde Amendment aka our insurance won’t cover abortion for any reason. Guess who had a pregnancy with a severe fetal abnormality whilst living in fucking Nebraska? (A pregnancy which would have endangered my life if I’d carried to term,…

As a resident of Omaha who had to leave the state in 2016 to get an abortion of my much wanted pregnancy for severe fetal abnormality, I will never, ever forgive Sanders for that. Thanks for bringing it up.

thank you for the star and sharing your friend’s story. It just sucks that there are so many of us, but I am so, so grateful for the science and medicine and compassionate doctors that make this choice available to us. No doctor has ever looked at my chart and said anything but, “that was the right decision.” And…

I have a huge personal stake in this, so forgive me if I get emotional, but.....arghhh. I think you’re missing a lot here. I had a termination at 13 weeks for a fetal malformation, and joined a support group of many women who were forced to do the same. I was comparatively “lucky,” because my abnormality was SO…

I was “lucky” and discovered my fetal abnormality early on, at 12 weeks, and was able to terminate the pregnancy less than a week later, because I had the resources to travel out of my shitty state on a moment’s notice. I later joined a support group of women who have made similar decisions, and so, so many of them…

I am so goddamn sorry. I wish I could fart in their faces.

I use liquid bandages! The effect is the same, and it feels like more of a thing you actually put on your skin? Good to know clear nail polish would work in a pinch, tho!

Oh my dear I am so sorry about your loss. Just to reassure you even more, though it sounds like you and your did your homework, I had a D&E and it was not painful at ALL. (Well, the drugs they give you are A+.). But it was so nice to be able to control when everything happens. I have not had a natural or medical…

I would like to watch this pls make it happen Netflix

I plan on becoming a serial killer tbh. No one will suspect the nice little old lady.

It’s another beautiful day to be Rogelio! Rogelio! Rogelio! *prances*

Thank you, truly. <3

I am in Omaha, and also a lady who has gotten an abortion for a wanted pregnancy with severe abnormalities. I had to leave the state to do it, because this dude actively made Nebraska so hostile to abortions, I couldn’t get it here and had to go to MN.

your eight year old is probably way cuter tho

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for taking the time to respond and to tell me your story. It so helps to know that I’m not alone in this nightmare. I am so happy your daughter is well and healthy! And I’m so sorry about happened with your other pregnancies. This shit sucks.

All of this, exactly. I cannot believe I have to go through fucking first trimester again!! I am so very sorry about your miscarriage, too. Hugs. And I could totally use a pregnancy buddy!

Thank you so much. In a way it just helps to say aloud, so thank you for reading and commenting!

This kitten truly soothes my soul. Thank you, you knew exactly what I needed.

I had to terminate/abort my first pregnancy due to a catastrophic abnormality. It was an awful experience on many levels, not least of which was all the dumb hoops I had to jump through to get my abortion.
