I don't think that's a cynical view as much as a realistic view.
Yeah, I think you're right.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Blah. I am blah. Everything is blah. Blaaaaaaah.
Duuuude. In the course of my work just now, I think I stumbled across that place you interviewed at, you know, the one that would be weird and morbid.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I almost wish I'd gotten a little further in that process, just to see what it was like.

My views on the general issue are opposed to those of most here, but this is the part that really gets me:
No matter if the mother would be forced to have, for example, a kidney transplant or a hysterectomy if she continued with the pregnancy. (Legislators did not provide a health exception for the woman, arguing that it would provide too big a loophole.)
Because I'm sure fiendishly exploiting a legal loophole to advance the opposing political agenda is foremost in the minds of women seeking late term abortions of pregnancies that have turned out to be medically dangerous to them.

If it's the place I think it is, they have what I consider an unnecessary thing on their homepage re: VA Tech.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My mom had a "Late Term Abortion" when I was a very little kid. It was due to a miscarriage that didn't complete and she would have died without it. I have strong feelings on the matter, as you might imagine.

So did my mother, and I'd not be here if she hadn't because it was the pregnancy before me. Though Mother always called it a miscarriage, because she wasn't the kind of woman to get an abortion.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I really can barely even think about any of this stuff, because it makes me so crazy. The good news for your mother, Robin, is that even today she'd be protected if it was her life at stake.

Connie, on the flip side, I have a friend who works in reproductive health who recently had a miscarriage, and she talked about the abortion she had to get after the fetus stopped growing.
