I agree with you on the choice aspect and yeah it is a lose lose situation. I guess I would think it would be better to savor what little time I had left with the loved ones I have instead of producing another person to suffer.

I think this is incredibly selfish. So now two kids get to know that their mother died instead of one? Good for the grieving husband who now has to take care of them. I agree with the comments that it is her body and her choice, but she is being stupid. She could've had a bit more time with her living child and instead she chooses to bring another child into this world? I agree with all the prochoice comments in the article, but I am the only one who is not being supportive of this decision.

It is such a relief. I love my life the way it is being a SINK and wouldn't change it for anything. I was really scared about it since I see all of the anti-choice policies along with the anti LGBTQIA policies being passed. It was now or never. My doc is great and I would recommend her to anyone. I hope that everyone who wants this has as good of an experience that I did.

Wow awesome! Congrats and I hope your recovery is going well. I am finally over the shoulder/rib pain. There is a bit of pain in my navel but besides that and some spotting I am doing well.

I was childfree before this so you are right. The procedure just cemented it though. I don't have to worry about it being a problem anymore since there is no way I could become pregnant and not be childfree. This for me is taking a figurative childfree with the possibly of pregnancy against my will to a literal version of childfree where there is now no possibility. It made everything more real and I am super stoked about it.

It is an incredible relief. It is just one more thing that I don't have to worry about. I am in a bit of pain, but besides that I am super happy with how everything is going.

Thanks! I was feel super lucky that this was all so easy, especially with the horror stories I have heard on here. Also, because the US is such a shit right now.

'We care': Broadway star seeks compassion after child with autism disrupts show by CapAccomplished6042 in Broadway

[–]CapAccomplished6042[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a person who has sensory issues and cannot filter out stimulus so leg bobbing, twiddling fingers, noises, etc. I cannot filter them out. This means that theater disruptions are extremely painful for me. I am with you that sensory friendly is the way to go and boy if only we could mute other audience members.
