1968 it was still illegal to have abortions in the US.

I Watched a movie based on a secret (and back then illegal) abortion operation made by volunteering women in US.

An upper class housewife needed to do a medical abortion cause of a medical condition putting her life at risk for being pregnant. The medical board men voted for or against as they had the last saying. They hadn't allowed an abortion in ten years and they weren't gonna this time either.

The housewife had 50% chance to survive having the baby. A risk she wasn't willing to take a she had a happy loving family. So she looks for a way to do an abortion illegally as that was the last option for anyone in her situation.

I have never lived where or when it's been illegal to have an abortion, call me privileged for living in modern times, which makes me so dissapointed when some people still want abortion to be a crime.

The movie is called "Call Jane"

This upsets me like you personally could not believe to an extent I doubt you personally couldn't even begin to "get". I am an adoptee, my natural mother did literally everything possible in order to get me aborted, I can not begin to tell you how much I wish she had succeed

Babies, children, people ALL need to be wanted and loved, for far too many of us that just has never been our personal reality.

It's all very well of those of you who were at the very least tolerated as a kids to talk about what should or should not be, but I for one wish my mother had been allowed to abort me, it would have been better for both of us had she succeeded!!!

@Queendragonfly You have very obviously misunderstood the intent of my comment! I genuinely wish I was aborted as a baby! If you personally don't "get" that, well that's on you...I personally have ALWAYS been in support of abortion to the literal extant I personally wish I myself had been aborted!

Do us a favour? Block me please...

@AntisocialTroll Yes I think your venting about your life story confused me a lot and I made a wrong misinterpretation. It's not on you it's my English translation that is the problem. Sorry but you can block who you want on your own.

@Queendragonfly I have literally never blocked a single person on here, tis not my thing but this really did upset me!

It's all very well for those of you that "think" you get it to pontificate about abortion but I am genuinely someone who wishes that had happened to her!

Both my own life and that of my natural parents, and the various fostive, adoptive, parents etc I've ever had would have been enriched if I personally had never existed!

I legit don't think that's my fault!

@AntisocialTroll It was never my intention. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I don't need to block you but I can if you prefer it
