To add to the list of pregnancy risks:

Today I read a story from one of the moms in my old due date club (we delivered our first at the same time and now she just gave birth to her second a week ago). Anyway, apparently she needed a vacuum extraction and the ENTIRE uterus came out with the placenta...plus she had 4th degree tears that went all the way through her anus


I have never heard of anything like this. She hasn't been on to post an update but her husband has been giving us info as he gets time. She has had two surgeries and is doing ok right now. The babe is well.

Well that's something I don't recall on the list of delivery risks that the doctors told us. I wonder how often that happens?

uterus prolapse

So this is the equivalent of a man's balls slowly being ripped out (only moreso, given that the uterus is much larger than the testes and is internal)? Yeesh.

The worst thing about these "why can't the woman just put up the baby for adoption" arguments is that they are nothing more than a red herring. The question of whether abortion is murder has nothing whatsoever to do with the question of whether the woman could have the baby and then give it up for adoption.

Not only are these people stupid and ignorant for acting as though pregnancy and childbirth are trivial things, but even if it were true, their argument would still be invalid. It is still a transparent attempt to refocus the debate on the character of the mother rather than the ethics of the act itself, and it is no less scurrilous than the commonplace tactic of portraying such women as promiscuous whores.
