Reply to comment by ShallowFreakingValue in There is going to be a pro-choice march in Montclair this week by Kongaleezza

Healthy babies at 3rd trimester usually have names and gifts for them picked out already. By then, their nursery is painted and put together and moms to be are usually attending baby showers. I've never heard of anyone wanting an abortion that late. I'd consider the process at that stage agonizing.

Idk how welcome you'd feel, but there are a lot of personal stories shared at a march like this. In general, pro choice marches can be very upfront and graphic about the subject. Hard to predict who will say what, but i doubt anyone would start hostile or violent. Never seen violence at a pro choice rally.

Thank you for explaining this. I had an abortion at 18 weeks. My little guy’s heart wasn’t growing correctly. I still have the unused pregnancy announcements and positive pregnancy tests.

No one changes their mind at the last minute. And even so, a doctor won’t perform an abortion unless the health of the mom is at stake.

I agree, and thanks- that’s what I was wondering.

I love all the slogans and tongue-in-cheek chants, but since having kids I am oversensitive to certain topics. Seems like I will sit it out and do my protesting at the ballot box.
