Waiting women

August 29, 2017 by Andrea Mrozek 2 Comments

We don’t have a problem in Canada with women accessing abortions. We have a problem with women waiting to conceive, and then needing to cope with media reports of how tragic it is when women get abortions–just slower than they would have preferred.

Here’s my take on this in Convivium.

    It must be difficult, carrying a baby that is doomed to abortion. A woman in that position simply can’t afford to allow herself to feel anything but contempt or hatred for the baby. You would have to deny, constantly, any feeling of bonding that you might be experiencing. I can see how, once a woman has decided definitively to have an abortion, it would be easiest to get it over and done with as quickly as possible.

    However. We live in a country where health resources are not unlimited, and priorities have to be set. Nobody is going to die if a woman doesn’t get an abortion. (In fact, if she changes her mind, somebody may live). It would be great if everyone could get all the healthcare that they wanted merely by asking for it (and that assumes that abortion is health care, which is a whole nother ball of wax), but the reality is that we live in a system where wait times for non-urgent health care is the norm. I don’t think that a two month wait for non-urgent, elective procedure is beyond the pale.

    But hearing somebody complain about how difficult it was to wait to throw their baby away when you you are desperately waiting to be blessed with a baby of your own must be excruciating. Pro choice advocates complain that abortion victim photography is distressing for those who have had miscarriages. Would that they would use a little more discretion when advocating for their own cause, so that those who long for a baby are not hurt.

    Well put.
