## Caption

“… …Things were much worse than we had thought. While the babies appeared to have one upper body, they had multiples of many organs, including two hearts. Their two spines both connected to their brain, which was like nothing any of the doctors had ever seen. We were informed that even if they survived the pregnancy, which was unlikely, separation would never be possible. We were given the choice to terminate the pregnancy or to carry to term. He needed an answer as soon as possible because I was already past 20 weeks and in Kentucky you couldn’t end a pregnancy past 22 weeks. We went home and talked about it. This was not an easy decision and probably the hardest thing either of us ever had to, or ever will have to decide in our lives. We made the decision to terminate the pregnancy.

I know a lot of my friends would not agree with that decision. That’s made very clear to me every day by what I see them post on social media. But let me tell you, there has never been a day that I regretted my decision. Those weeks were the worst of my life, and I can’t imagine the pain of carrying a baby for another 5 months, knowing that at any moment they could (and very likely would) die. We made an appointment to have a D&E. I remember that day like it was yesterday. They wheeled me into the operating room and had to wait to start my anesthesia because I was sobbing. Those babies were wanted, and they were so loved in the short time that I was able to carry them. I’m so thankful for our families, who completely supported our decision and never made us feel judged. I couldn’t have gotten through that time without them. When people post about abortion being murder, and anyone getting an abortion being a baby killer, please consider the women who got pregnant on purpose, wanted these babies and had their lives shattered when the pregnancies didn’t work out. Please consider that you don’t know all the facts relating to someone’s individual story. ...If you’ve never been through it, you can never begin to imagine the pain.” Visit the URL on the graphic to read the full story at our website. 💚 #shoutyourabortion #abortion #aborcja #strajkkobiet #abortolegal
