I’ll also plug this one, one of my faves, though I cringe at calling her a “mommy blogger,” its an appropriate link becuase she does great with the lived intersectionality thing that I think Maia is getting at, and she has great links:

Does it make sense to force a woman to carry around a dead or half dead babies for months or have major sugery that damages your uterus(c-section -which at that point is no different than getting an abortion. )

Or carry to term a child that has no brain, or that will know nothing but physical suffering because of a condition if its born alive?

I have a uterine defect in which my uterus is split into two halves and the child has only half of a uterus for growth depending on which side it is on. LUCKILY the two sides are equal and LUCKILY my right side stretched enough for Amina to grow full term. However many women with my type of defect have one side that is large and the other side is small. If a baby were to implant on the small side it would rupture(rip open) that portion and fall into the mother adominal cavity causing death to the baby and most likely the mother. If I would had had twins I would be at great risk for this. Everyone wondered why my husband and I would look horrified when people would say that they hope there are twins there and that one is just hiding.

So in that instance the supreme court would tell me, ” Look we know your uterus might explode and you and the baby will die, but for your mental health we want you to be either cut open and have your baby extracted (still an abortion) with the chance causing more damage to your uterus thats already kinda of messed up, or just ride it out and hope for the best.”

I’m not a parent, but I read some ‘Mommy blogs’ written by feminists, because they have some of the best feminist analysis on the web.

Me too. But I hadn’t discovered Cecily yet–thanks for this, Maia.
