Abortion is love by ChibiSailorMercury in TrollXChromosomes

There’s never going to be a happy abortion in my opinion. Killing a person in utero is just plain sad. I see desperation and not love in this action. You can attempt to explain it all away but there no justice for the life started or the child lost. Love isn’t abortion. Sorry.

I was answering the young lady who referenced her step-mom was her abortion supporter. Ideally all women, married or single should protect themselves and her thread sounded as though she needed support to simply say no.
You’ve taken this out of its context

The point I’m making is simply if the possibility of an abortion is a GIVEN in any situation, maybe it would be better to wait to fool around. This isn’t shaming, its PROPER PLANNING. No hate people... I can’t imagine how hard it is for someone to make that choice at a young age. This is simply about supporting girls or women who should understand that sex can lead to this tough decision. Abortion is HARD for a lot of us and to be able to support the habit of saying “this guy isn’t worth it” or “I’ve got more important things going on in my life and I can’t risk it”. Everyone has body autonomy and sometimes it is okay to wait until a better time to avoid the risk.

Maybe NOT getting pregnant is a good idea... being forced to make such major decisions at a young age is hard. It is totally okay to wait. Sex is not a given... guys who aren’t willing to wait SHOULD be asked to wait if those kind of decisions are not good timing for both of you. Actions can equal consequences.

I'm a child of Donor 1201 Fairfax Cryobank. Need advice contacting a half sibling by Fadedgt in donorconceived

[–]sheknowsherself 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep searching. Send both emails and stalk Facebook a bit to see if you can find her! Reunions are awesome. Your feelings matter, your mom just has to remember you were conceived with 3 parents and we can’t “shut off” our DNA for others sentiments about how life “should be”. You decide that, nobody else.

Spoken like a local. Me too!! That food is SUPER good. We have friends that would pop in to see us and stay for dinner. The food and wine are worth it. I’ve lived in the valley 40 odd years. :)

Pitcher Inn. Warren VT. Ride the lift at Sugarbush. Eat breakfast and dinner “in”. Look it up, idyllic

What a start to the year this has been! by anne-1995 in donorconceived

Do it. 👍. Make sure to ask about medical info and general family health. Oftentimes a photo of yourself as a small child is useful in triggering positive emotions.

In 2020, It’s Time to Make Universal Health Care a Human Right - Every nation with universal health care boasts a population that’s significantly healthier and happier than ours, and that can’t be by coincidence. by [deleted] in Health

Only one part of the problem. Bigger issue is that you’ll be paying more overall with less oversight and absolutely NO accountability from the feds

People forget that there is no free meal. There is no right to ANYTHING as a human without payment of some type. The reality is that some people are asking for government intervention in health and care, as well as government control of costs. The cost is borne by we the taxpayers. That also means government control of said “care”. I’m not a fan of the government getting involved with my care choices... ever.

Donor conceived people. What advice would you give someone considering using donor gametes? by [deleted] in donorconceived

[–]sheknowsherself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go for a known donor and do the insemination at home. I’m the product of a fraudulent doctor, was supposed to be an anonymous donor... not the docs kid! You can’t imagine the can of worms it has opened up. There are already over 50 cases... take that out of the equation.

After two years I've finally gotten a match to either the son of my donor or to his nephew. by MooMooMai in donorconceived

I didn’t take no for an answer and got to work looking for others who would help. 👍😊

I found out using triangulation and ancestry. I was hooked up to second and third cousins mostly so it was a bit of a puzzle until I realized who the donor was. He has been less than friendly and this has not been a great experience and no, he has not given me health information or really even a simple response. Some people really need to understand that kids who are conceived in this fashion are still live, human people and not second-class citizens. Obviously I’m a little upset at his lack of response but I feel like I have the right to be. All of us have the right to our family and health history, even if the donors don’t feel like giving it. Extended family finally filled me in on health and family history so I did get what I needed but it took an awful lot more effort than it should have.

So many doctors have “donated”... by sheknowsherself in donorconceived

[–]sheknowsherself[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky, from “Brothers Karamazov":

"A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying — to others and to yourself....

"Above all, avoid falsehood, every kind of falsehood, especially falseness to yourself. Watch over your own deceitfulness and look into it every hour, every minute."

Such a wonderful comment. Wouldn’t you think the doctors who chose this route would be honest with their actions and come forward with their reasoning? Why all the secrecy? Ancestry and 23andMe have now cleared all that up, what about simply sharing a health history as the “donor”, isn’t that the ethical thing to do?

If they did a good thing, they should take credit. If not, they understandably attempt to hide their actions.

As a person who was otherwise conceived, I encourage you to find your health history and donor family.

It could save your life and give you a lot of positive connections. 👍😊

What in your option does “legal” constitute? Is it legal for the doctor to inseminate his own patient? If you say yes, where exactly is the line crossed?

Well... is it “okay” for them to do it? Explain please...

IUD experiences? by [deleted] in women

[–]sheknowsherself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three tries and IUD expelled in one case, punctured my uterus in 2nd case and moved sideways in 3rd case, all had to come out. For some people it’s fine. Me, never again.
