This is a forum where people come to get help, to to be taken on a guilt
trip. This post was cruel and totally uncalled for. First of all, how
far along were you if you could tell the sex from an ultrasound, from
what I understand the sex can't be determined until between 18-20 weeks.
That is a 2nd trimester abortion and is much different than what this
young lady will go through. Unless you had a very good reason for
waiting so long I don't know the circumstances you were in and I don't
know the circumstances she is in, and neither do you! I agree that this
is a decision that she needs to think about but you were out of line.
