I don't know her views on abortion, and don't care to pry to see if she memorializes her at all, but I still remember my mother telling the story of my stillborn older sister one day, and how heartbroken she was about it and how callous the attending doctor was in her treatment of her.
It was and remains an absolutely terrible moment for her life that she still recalls with clarity. I count myself lucky she didn't "give up" and went on to have me, but yeah, fuck anybody saying those who miscarry just shrug their shoulders and get on with life.
My grandparents carried their first baby to full term but it died during birth because the doctor refused to come in because it was a few days before Christmas. This was the early 1950’s and apparently they couldn’t get any type of settlement out of it.
