Abortion... A controversial topic maybe?

In some places around the world it’s frowned upon and people are shunned for it. In some places it’s perfectly legal and is even a free service provided for eligible individuals.

In New Zealand, abortion is legal and you can terminate anytime right up till 14 weeks. In Australia you can terminate up till 24 weeks gestation! (But with strict criteria).

Now for a brief insight to how far along the pregnancy may be at those dates:

14 weeks: the baby can squint, frown, grimace and pee! Sometimes even suck their thumbs. They are approximately the size of lemon.

24 weeks: the baby is almost the length of an ear of corn! (subway foot long size) And your belly can be size of a soccer ball. The baby can hear your voice, their faces are fully formed and can breath air instead of fluid.

What are your thoughts, again I’m more biased towards the medical field and sciences behind it and feel that people should have their own choice/ opinions in regards to pregnancy and termination.

Let’s discuss, let’s hear your opinions. What do you have to say?

I was born 2/19/00.

Im an only child that was raised with 3 cousins.
raised as brother and sisters.

i would’ve had a twin & 2 older siblings,
my mom lost my first 2 siblings like 3 years before she got pregnant with me

When she got pregnant with me, I had a twin, but she said something about me absorbing the other one.
So it was just me, when my mom found out I had absorbed the other one she thought she was going to lose the both of us, like she lost the last 2.

She was told I would make it, I don’t think my momis able to have kids anymore after me.
Anyway, my mom was informed that there was a
50 - 50% chance that I’d have Down syndrome.

They asked my my mom & dad how they felt on terminating the pregnancy, they both said no they were just too happy to finally have a baby.

Then I came out
i think I was 9 Lbs 12 ounces,
(I was too big for a vaginal birth, my mom had a C section) or something like that
my feet were bigger than the average babies feet

17 years later here I am.
I wear a size 15 1/2 - 16
& I’m 6”0

the only “complication”
i think I was born with was asthma
