It might be safer for the mother, but it's definitely not safe for the unborn human. I'm interested in both the mother and baby's health. Just because something might happen at some point in the pregnancy is no reason to end the life of the baby, IMO.
Yes, I know you disagree.
Yes, I disagree.
I personally know my life was on the line and my daughters life was on the line due to pregnancy complications.
It is important that the woman be good health when she becomes pregnant, even then things can still go terribly wrong in the blink of an eye.
Each pregnancy a woman risks a complication. She should have the right to make the decision that having a little one is worth the risk to her. Most women say he’s most of the time. If they now is not the time they often make a yes choice at a later time in their life.
…..
Any pregnancy can take a turn at a moments notice and put the woman’s health and even her life at risk, at a point where an abortion once the symptoms are there will be too late to prevent a death of the woman or lifelong major irreparable disability.
That’s why no woman should be forced to take the risk if she wants an early elective abortion it should be her choice not to risk the pregnancy. Some women can sence there is something wrong ahead of time.
Life threatening complications aren't rare up to 8 percent of all pregnancies affected by pre- eclampsia or one of it's variants including HELLP syndrome.
We never know when a pregnancy might take a turn and become life threatening to someone we love.
Another 1 to 2.5 percent of pregnancies are ectopic pregnancies which are also life threatening.
So about 1 out 10 pregnancies can be life threatening just from 2 of the many types of life threatening complications.... eclampsia variants and ectopic pregnancies.
My daughter had HELLP syndrome with her pregnancy and she was very close to death when they performed the emergency
C section.
She went to the ER a few weeks before her due date because she was getting a horrible pain in her back just below her ribs which was caused because her liver was being damaged from the HELLP syndrome.
Usually there is pain the upper right part of the abdomen but her pain was in the back because her liver was swelling and shutting down.
They were worried her liver might fail.
Her OB/GYN was shocked when her test results came back showing she had HELLP syndrome. She had just seen him a couple days before and everything with the pregnancy appeared fine then.
My daughter was one the up to 8 percent of women in the US who every year developes 'preeclampsia, eclampsia, or a related condition such as HELLP syndrome."
Thankfully she was not one of the roughly 300 US women who do die from the syndrome every year but she was one of the roughly 75,000 US women every year who are counted as near misses.
From the following article:
……..
Every year in the U.S., up to 8 percent, or 300,000, of pregnant or postpartum women develop preeclampsia, eclampsia, or a related condition such as HELLP syndrome.
Roughly 300 women die, and another 75,000 women experience “near misses”—severe complications and injury such as organ failure, massive blood loss, permanent disability, and premature birth or death of their babies.
Usually, the disease resolves with the birth of the baby and placenta.
But, it can occur postpartum—indeed, most maternal deaths occur after delivery.
The condition still claims the lives of 300 women a year, while 75,000 more experience ‘near misses,’ write Eleni Tsigas and Christine Morton.

A little more about HELLP Syndrome:
…….
HELLP syndrome is a life-threatening pregnancy complication usually considered to be a variant of preeclampsia. Both conditions usually occur during the later stages of pregnancy, or sometimes after childbirth.
HELLP syndrome was named by Dr. Louis Weinstein in 1982 after its characteristics:
H (hemolysis, which is the breaking down of red blood cells)
EL (elevated liver enzymes)
LP (low platelet count)
HELLP syndrome can be difficult to diagnose, especially when high blood pressure and protein in the urine aren't present. Its symptoms are sometimes mistaken for gastritis, flu, acute hepatitis, gall bladder disease, or other conditions.
The global mortality rate of HELLP syndrome has been reported to be as high as 25%.
