Kristan Hawkins was 23 when she started her quest to end abortions in the U.S. of A.
She slept in her office, took showers at Gold's gym, wore an eye mask at night, left the lights on in an effort to keep cockroaches away.
I stopped reading the long BBC article on this woman who decided it was fine to give states the right to deny liberty to females.
At 23 what did she know about stillborn babies? I knew, because my mother had what she called a "born dead" baby, an older sister's twins, since childhood. I never thought about how it would feel to carry a fetus to term, only to have a stillborn baby.
I read a story from a woman who choose to deliver the baby, knowing it had died in the womb. She & hubby wanted to hold a funeral, and celebrate the life that may have been.
Hawkins, also probably is not aware of ectopic pregnancies. I was not, until a sister-in-law suffered two of them. There are other reasons a female might opt doctor assisted termination of pregnancy. It is a personal matter between the woman, her physician, and possibly a god.
Kristian's crusade, means, in today's world, females like my sister-in-law, could be arrested, imprisoned, if a physician tries to save the pregnancy, and it ends up aborting. She & doc might avoid jail, proving that it was not intentional.
But why should any woman have to prove a miscarriage was not a doctor assisted pregnancy termination?
