I would like to take a moment to clear something up for a few people floating around out here in cyberspace.
There is a common misconception when it comes to couples dealing with infertility as well as those who have lost a child. Society seems to assume that we are all pro-life and I hate to break it to you, but that is just not true. I have suffered with infertility for a really long time and I would give just about anything to bring home a baby, but my infertility and inability to achieve that has absolutely nothing to do with someone else's uterus. Just as deeply as I desire to have a child, someone else may be the complete opposite. Someone else may find that the thing I want most is the very last thing they want in their life right now. That is absolutely not for me to decide, just as it is not for anyone else to decide that I should or should not be on fertility treatments after one loss and one preterm birth. Other people may have issues with that, but thankfully for me (and all other women) we are in control of our own bodies.
There is not a limited number of embryos/fetuses/babies in the world—one woman’s, a thousand women’s, a million women’s abortions have no bearing on my ability or inability to conceive.
