Same, never in my life did I expect to be with someone who needed an abortion, but my wife just did.

We are trying to have a second child, but unfortunately we found out there were a multitude of issue with the baby at around 13 weeks. The issues, including heart, neck and head malformations were caused by a chromosomal translocation.

If the baby made it to term quality of life would have been extremely low, and they would likely only live a few days or at most a couple years. We made the not so easy decision to end the pregnancy.

It was bad enough in this state, the doctor had to read some legal documents, had to offer to show us photos of fetuses, wait 24 hours, and sign paperwork saying that we understood everything. I could not imagine what others have to go through in some states. And forcing someone to go to term like that is simply pure evil.
