Rare? How many women do you know personally who've undertaken this extraordinary miracle? Including myself, I've known 6 women (3 of whom I'm related to) who have had to either terminate a pregnancy or induce early in order to save their lives.

Myself (ectopic pregnancy), my cousin (baby had polycystic kidneys and started to shut down the mother's kidneys in the 5-6th month), and my aunt, niece, a best friend and another coworker who all suffered with preeclampsia. One lost her child to the condition. The ONLY cure for preeclampsia is to end the pregnancy...hopefully when the child is mature enough to survive outside the womb. In my niece's case, her baby was born 3 months premature. It was very iffy.

As an adult, I can control my reproductive organs and avoid nightmare you describe. Men have the same choice AND they don't have to ever worry about risking their lives over it. I strongly recommend they don't procreate with women who might be inclined to terminate. Their nightmare is not nearly as frightening as being a woman whose life could be in danger because of some idiot.

Very rare. Notwithstanding the apparent genetic pre-disposition for it amongst your relatives, it remains very rare amongst the general population.

And you are still using those very rare cases to excuse your opposition to the rights of fathers to protect the lives of their children in all of the other cases that do not involve any of the circumstances you so graphically depict.
