This is a reference to a story that aired on the Today show that because of the law in Arizona that abortions are only allowed to save the mother's life so this mother couldn't have an abortion at 21 weeks even though it was medically determined that the fetus was incompatible with life. https://www.yahoo.com/news/roe-v-wade-ruling-she-163634224.html This is one of the heartbreaking stories that like others will be revealed after this ruling, and not everyone will have the money or the resources to travel to another state so don't even start with "she could go to another state" argument. So as usual those with heartbreaking outcomes who are poor will continue to suffer needlessly.

I looked at the Facebook page and I was so embarrassed that some of the most heartless things said to this woman were from other women who claimed to be pro-life. They acted like she was some kind of heartless monster because it was breaking her heart that the fetus was suffering seizures inside of her of she wanted to end her unborn child's suffering. Who are these people? If being pro-life means that we have no empathy for someone in a heartbreaking situation, I just cannot be a party to that.

I think about children that are diagnosed with terminal illness, we let their parents decide what care they shall receive and how long to prolong their life and when to let them die with dignity, why should we look at the situation with the unborn differently? Why in this situation would we not let the parents advocate for the unborn child, they love their unborn child more than any of us strangers could.
