Took me a minute - still reeling from being amazing @ottawabluesfest - I agree, my bandmate! I'll elaborate as an exercise for us all, in many tweets to follow.
Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.
