The way I see it, mourning a pregnancy is about mourning a future you wanted to have with a person you were ready to welcome and love, and that sense of loss isn't really dependent on whether that person actually objectively existed yet.

Meanwhile abortion access is about ensuring people still *have* futures, period.

my official stance is a pregnancy is whatever the pregnant person wants it to be. if it’s a 4 week old clump of cells and they want to call it a baby it’s a baby. if they're 20 weeks and they want to call it a parasite it’s a parasite. if they're 39 weeks and call it a fetus it’s a fetus. “why are you so sad about miscarrying at 6 weeks it was literally just an embryo” because that was their baby. “how can you get an abortion at three months” because that wasn’t a baby. hope that helps.

@zeeislewd I'm imaging that wide eyed look you get, right before you let out a growl, as you see me doing this...

That moment of incredulity, unable to believe your luck. You got me. And then you got me pregnant. That's your baby rounding me out, making me heavy and awkward and even more alluring.

It's a pure wave of excitement, shivers, hearing you growl, "Mine."

Look at you now. You had let him unwrap you for his birthday in April, now you get to be the present again at Christmas eight months later.

Two things about caesarians:

First, in the US, it may depend on the hospital whether they offer elective caesarians. Also, some insurance companies may not cover an elective caesarian, which may make you liable for the full $50k+ bill. Check with your OB early on.

Second, caesarians are still major surgeries and have their own complications. Wound infection, incision dehiscence (where your stitches tear and the incision reopens), and post-surgical pneumonia are not uncommon for mothers. Surgical injuries (i.e. the surgeon accidentally cuts baby or supporting organs during the operation) and increased trauma response are not uncommon for babies.

Plus, caesarians do not mitigate the changes to the mother's brain or bone density, but they do interfere with the usual hormonal cascade of natural birth, which promotes, among other things, mother-baby bonding, baby's temperature regulation, and lactation. Higher incidences of a complete lack of mother-baby bonding are reported after caesarians, and a lack of mother-baby bonding increases the risk for post-partum depression and post-partum psychosis.

The bottom line is pregnancy and birth are major events in any woman's life and can result in major medical issues and outcomes. The legal option to opt out of an unwanted or non-viable pregnancy should be every woman's right. Period.

In addition, in the US, the risk of maternal death during delivery for Black women is four to five times higher than for white women, and the reason for that is systemic racism and misogyny in (US) medicine.

giving birth sucks tbh. not only do you and the baby you’re birthing almost die, usually you shit yourself and often you tear your taint. then you have to push an organ out of your body (placenta) and if even a little of that remains in your body, you can hemorrhage to death or develop an infection that essentially rots your body from the inside out. even if you had a relatively “easy birth”, you bleed for weeks on end. even after that stops, your body and brain is changed for the rest of your life, the pregnancy leeched minerals from your bones, that can cause osteoporosis later. minor urinary incontinence is not uncommon, brain scans of people who gave birth show permanent changes in their brain, you’re never quite the same.

I say all of this not to say giving birth is disgusting but it is a harrowing and visceral experience. society downplays how fucking awful it is and makes it out to be a ~magical~ experience but it isn’t a magical transformative experience for everyone. it can be an extremely traumatic experience for someone who wanted to carry a pregnancy to term, much more so for someone who did not want to be pregnant in the first place or someone who knows their baby won’t survive the birth. anyway, abortion is a right. pregnancy and birth aren’t just inconvenient, it’s fucking awful.
