I have two wonderful children. They were both born in July, both via Cesarian, both girls, both truly magical. But I have to say, honestly, being a mother to these girls is much different than being pregnant.
I have been pregnant four times. I lost the first one early, around 7 weeks, and the second one I lost at around 10 weeks. I say around 10 weeks because we didn't discover it was dead until 12 weeks when I had a severe kidney infection that required intravenous antibiotics and hospitalization. My doctor and I spoke at length, and we both felt it best to perform a D&C. Or, as Terry England of Georgia might call it, an abortion, on the dead fetus.
Terry England knows a lot about babies. He's delivered dead pigs. See his comments regarding delivering dead pigs and how it relates to women having abortions.
As a woman, it is my duty to protect my children. Part of protecting my children is protecting myself. 36 hours after my water broke with my first child, I still had not dilated past 3 cm. At that point, it was time to get the baby out before any harm came to it or me. My second child was born via c-section because of the same reason. My doctor once said to me "You are the type of woman that would have died during childbirth 100 years ago."
So tell me, at what point do we stop allowing women to protect themselves?
Allowing me to reproduce as God intended, I would have probably died 3 times. First from my daughter, then from the dead fetus that was infecting my body, and third from my second child.
I am going into very personal detail here to make a point. Right now there are a lot of people trying to make decisions for women based on the Word of God. They are saying women shouldn't have birth control options through health insurance, women shouldn't be able to abort fetuses, and women shouldn't be able to abort DEAD fetuses. Instead, reproduction should be totally natural as God intended. Dead fetuses should be born when they are ready to come out, poverty-stricken women should raise rape babies, and birth control should only be given to sluts that can pay 100% out-of-pocket.
If these things came to fruition, where does is stop? No c-sections? Women should be able to die during childbirth as God intended?
There also needs to be a flip-side to these debates. Condoms should be prescription and not paid for by insurance. If you want to have sex, you should get pregnant as God intended. Viagra is outlawed. If you can't get it up, leave it down as God intended. There should be no artificial insemination. Not for humans, not for livestock. Can you imagine taking away AI for couples trying to conceive??? What would happen if farmers couldn't artificially inseminate their livestock? People wouldn't eat! Is that what God intended?
This debate is insane. It is not about what God intended, it is about taking away women's ability to protect themselves and their children. We are sluts for using birth control. Giving birth to dead fetuses is what God wants us to do - just like pigs!
