I've known a few women that terminated. Each had their reasons. To young,to poor or had medical reasons (dangerous for them to carry a child or had hereditary conditions that ran in the family). None of them terminated over a dress. Well at least the fiance got to see just how psychotic his gal and MIL are.

[@TiffWaffles]

One of my friends always has to take a genetics test every time she finds out she's pregnant because she has something in her genes that can be passed on to her baby that would make that baby die an excruciating painful death minutes or hours after birth. Another couple of my friends wanted their babies only to have something happen where they needed an abortion and they were in emotional pain over it because they wanted their babies. This woman had an abortion because of a hissy fit over not getting what she wanted? Insane...

[@zerofate9669]

Story 1 omg this woman is evil and heartless beyond. She literally used her unborn baby as a bargaining chip to get a dress, a fking dress, fabric to wear for ONE DAY. She even denied to her fiance just to make op look insane but fell when word got out by fiance himself. Like, wtf were you even thinking woman. You literally just ended so many relationships with not just your fiance, but your entire family and step family and in laws. Was the dress really worth being shunned and outcast? Was it worth it? Entitled Women I tell ya. Never cease to amaze me with the level of entitlement and how far they are willing to go for the most simplest or stupidest things that arent even worth it.

[@Sagasofbetrayal]

Wow, this is just appalling. Using an unborn baby as leverage for a dress and then denying it to make OP look crazy is beyond heartless. It’s shocking how such a trivial thing could cause so much damage to relationships. The level of entitlement and the lengths some will go for something so insignificant is truly astounding.

It's not worth, the text on the IPAD shows conspiracy to commit the crime; the prosecutor is going to love it! Especially with the of taking his stuff and giving it to family; that's handling stolen goods; another felony. Her family could be done for receiving stolen goods. That's 2 years in prison for each family member and only be if the Prosecution was in a happy mood! Emma would have been struck off as a social worker because of a criminal record and never be allowed to work in any profession involving children or vulnerable adults.

I think he was telling her what he was going to do depending on her choice. If she has an abortion, he’s going to tell everyone and give proof. If she decides to carry the baby to term and give birth, he will fight for full custody because it’s clear to see she will only use the child as a bargaining chip to get whatever she wants instead of seeing it as an actual human being with thoughts and emotions separate from her.

[@cameron765]

Isn't it frustrating how some individuals who opt for abortion are fully aware of the risks associated with being careless in their relationships, yet they remain indifferent until they find themselves expecting a child? Instead of taking responsibility, they choose to act selfishly by terminating a life. Despite the emotional trauma that many women experience after undergoing an abortion, they often continue to advocate for it, overlooking the potential consequences for other women

[@carmenplangger9417]

What about the life long emotional trauma of having a child concerned under bad circumstances? And the trauma to a child that is unwanted and resented? You have to pick the most extreme cases to argue why abortion is bad. Someone threatening to end a wanted pregnancy over a dress, is absolutely not the norm.

[@carmenplangger9417]

[@cameron765]

@@carmenplangger9417 1. I don't understand. I have never used the story as an example to support my argument on abortion. 2. It's true that some women may find giving birth traumatic, but it's not the experience for most women. I won't justify abortion by citing the minority who face such challenges. 3. Another argument often brought up is quite absurd. The majority of people who have children, even in difficult circumstances, do not end up resenting or disliking their kids. It's the minority who feel this way. Why do some people use extreme cases to justify their arguments?

Abortion is murder no matter what.

[@shells500tutubo]

You know that the medical term for a miscarriage is a spontaneous ABORTION, right? You know that if the baby died during the pregnancy and the dead fetus needs to be removed it's called and ABORTION, right? You know that when there is an ectopic pregnancy, meaning the embryo is stuck in the fallopian tube and has to be removed, technically it is an ABORTION, even though that embryo cannot survive, right? There are many instances where the removal of a fetus is not murder because it is already dead. It is still called abortion, so do not state as fact that which you do not understand.

[@Itzzmoon565]

Abortion is not murder if the mom had a good reason like SA, medical problems etc. But stupid reasons to "kill" the baby like the sisters reason then yea that's just stupid and evil

You act like it's always a choice cause its an unwanted child. There can be dozens of reasons. I nearly needed one as I miscarriage but didn't pass. That's AN ABORTION it's traumatic and horrific. It can be the result of SA, age, health of mother, non viability of the fetus. It can be pressure to abort even if the mother WANTS to have the baby. So PERHAPS try empathy not judgement.

First story abortion opinion: you say you had an abortion, but still refer to SS baby as baby, not fetus. To me that shows you recognize that a child in the womb (even pre-developed enough to see gender) is in fact a child with human rights. So I say you are TA for having an abortion (unless it was medically neccessary which so few actually are now-a-days). In the ss abortion for a dress, you are not the ah. Because she’s literally putting a deadly instrument to another humans head for her gain of your property. That’s hostage taking. You don’t negotiate with hostage takers or they’ll constantly keep doing the same to get what they want. You did the right thing by letting people know and letting her face accountability. I know in this day and age people will not like my opinion that abortion is homicide, but the value of a persons life is not determined by how convenient they are to their caregivers. For the minuscule cases that are health emergencies and rope/uncest, I understand exceptions. But most abortions completed now are by women who have children already that are in their 20’s, not by early teens pregnant with their uncles baby or ectopic pregnancies/potentially fatal or non-viable pregnancies. Abortion is being used as another form of contraception, and that is not okay.
