Mum had an abortion

Please point me to this so-called clump of cells? I can't see one after 8 weeks (abortions are usually performed between 9 and 12 weeks when it is clearly a small human developing baby).

Still not a real person

No. It's not my business. I'm not the one raising the child - my mother would be.

How would you feel if your mum did this? And had your sibling's life ended? And therefore killed. Wouldn't you feel a member of your family is missing? Would you feel lucky that she didn't use her womb as an execution chamber for you? Would you thank your mum at least she spared your life, because you know having stable finance is what really counts. If she didn't have that you would have been given the saline wash or skull cracking treatment. That's just life.. or death, ahem sorry I mean "abortion"...no life or death involved when there's a developing human baby of course.

i would be quite upset and disappointed with her that she'd even thought of doing such a thing.

but knowing my relationship with my mother, I'll end up forgiving her and getting over it in less than a week, regardless whether she's sorry or not.

My mum has been in this position and I know it was the right decision considering the circumstance. I do wonder though if that child would have been a better son/daughter than I have been and if my mum would have been happier if she had aborted me instead.

My mum had a miscarriage between having my sister and having me. There is still a ‘sibling that never was’ In some countries, miscarriage and stillbirth is illegal and as morally reprehensible as abortion. Yes that miscarriage could have been me. The principle is the same- what happened happened for a reason. It wouldn’t personally bother me.

An absolutely futile piece of wondering if ever i heard one! Coulda, woulda, shoulda nonsensical reasoning that is more about your very low self esteem than it is about your mum's "right decision" to have an abortion! You are here and, believe me, your mum thinks no such thing! You are here so make the most of your life!

I wasn't really asking for anyone's opinion on what I think or why I think it.

Ok. So why make such a foolish post then?

Yes you should because it is , quite frankly,none of your business! And it is her body not yours!

I was simply answering OP's question. Why comment on my post if you think it's foolish?

So you and others know my viewpoint ,which is exactly why you post comments as well, right?

Can you stop attacking this poster. He/she wanted to get something off their chest about this subject. Pretty awful thing to go through realising your mum did that and it could have been you...that poster was just working through their thought process and they must have some complex feelings about this.
