An Abortion Survivor's Story

In September of 1975, a woman discovered that she was pregnant. Things were very difficult for her, as she was raising two sons, six and 15 years old. Their father had walked out on them and refused to help care for the boys financially, or in any other way. The only alternative for this woman, it seemed, was to abort this unexpected baby. After all, she could barely afford to feed the children she already had.

Between the months of September 1975 and January 1976, this woman had three therapeutic abortions in an attempt to rid herself of the unborn baby. These abortions, also known as a "salting out procedure" are performed by injecting a very large syringe into the woman's abdomen, removing a certain amount of amniotic fluid out of the womb, and then injecting three times the amount of saline back in, thus "burning" the baby out. For reasons only God knows, these abortions did not take and on April 21, 1976, two months premature, her baby was born. The child was perfect and healthy, weighing four pounds, five ounces.

Unfortunately on March 16, 1977, the mother passed away, less than a year after her baby girl was born. After the woman's death, the infant's father and paternal grandmother took custody of the baby and her two brothers. As this baby girl grew up, her father told her about the three abortions she had undergone in her mother's womb but this little girl never believed him, as she assumed that if a baby is aborted, he or she could not possibly survive.

The truth only came to this girl when she was eighteen years old, married, and approximately five months pregnant with her first child. This girl needed and soon obtained her mother's medical records from the hospital that had treated her. Imagine her utter shock as she read about how her mother tried to terminate her unborn child three times. As the young girl read the medical documents, the new life inside of her was stirring and kicking as if to say "Mommy please don't get any ideas."

Today this young woman is 25 years old and is raising a family of her own. She is healthy and normal in every way, with no physical deformities of any kind.

I am the child that I have been writing about. My mother had no right to try and abort me, no matter what the circumstances were, no matter how inconvenient her pregnancy was. And if she was here with us today, I'm sure she would agree. Life is too precious to simply throw away. Now I can speak out against abortion from the baby's perspective. Any baby would choose life.

TweetThat's a trip. Abortion was legal at this time I wonder why they used such ineffective methods.

If your goal is protecting individual rights - "pro-choice" is the only position that does that.

Instead she's going to let a lot of pro-life groups (dominated by religious men) exploit her story in the attempt at undermining the rights of her own body.

TweetC'mom everyone, let's remember that abortion is a touchy subject. Each person has their own veiws and we have to accept that even though we don't agree. I think it is wonderful that this woman survived, but sad that she actually had to find this out. This story is an example of babies that do survive abortion and in this day, the law states to not give them any medical assistance, one that Obama supports. Prochoice protects a woman's right to choose, but yet gives no rights to that unborn or born child, that is what is sad here.

Well put. You guys arent going to get anywhere calling each other names. Speaking of woman's rights, I had lunch with a friend the other day, he had been married for 15 years, no kids. When I asked him why (he loves kids), he said she aborted them all without his knowledge or consent. I know this will be rare, but where do a man's rights come into play in the scenario??

A man's rights only go so far as choosing a mate that he can trust. He has no right to a woman's reproductive system. Just because he gives her his shiznit doesn't mean she has to keep it or consult with him before she gets rid of it.

I totally disagree.....if you are married, it should be a joint decision.
