Someone wrote a diary at GOS about a mother who wasn’t allowed an early delivery of a baby with a fatal fetal diagnosis. That, of course, triggered my memories and feelings about Gabriel. So, I wrote a comment. Then someone else said that more stories like that needed to be told. So, I wrote my first ever Daily Kos diary: “And Then He Died“.
It’s part of Gabriel’s story that deals with the doctor denying me an early delivery. It’s a little graphic and I allowed my heart to enter into the story. Don’t read it if you could be triggered.
This is an issue that is more than just aborting unwanted pregnancies. This is about more than caring if a child is suffering while in the womb. This is about more than a choice to end a pregnancy.
For Danielle, and for me, this was about allowing us the choice of how we said “Good-bye”.
I’m not repeating the story here again. I’ll dig up the link for my story if you want me to. Or you can use the handy-dandy search. Or you can go over to the GOS and see what I had to say there.
