Being conscious and/or aware and forming memories is not the same though.

The brain and spinal cord begin to develop two weeks after conception

Chula Vista

Back in early 1980 me and Linda were both 19, flat broke, no health insurance, and not even sure if we were going to remain together. We got pregnant according to the tests. After a ton of deep introspection, we decided the best decision was to abort. We gathered up the money and drove into downtown Boston - the only place you could get it done back then.

We were both gobsmacked over the whole thing. Sitting in the waiting room was torture. Lots of tears and second guessing. She gets called in and I'm left sitting there alone. The thoughts going through both of our heads......

Ends up she wasn't pregnant after all.

Then 3 years later the same thing happens. We go to the hospital and after a bunch of tests the doc tells us that either she'll have a baby or will need to have her woman parts removed because of a weird cyst infection. I drove home that night knowing that I was either going to be a father, or was never going to be a father with Lin.



I'm 100% pro-choice because people should have that control over their bodies and lives. The option to use it should be treated as the biggest decision you'll ever make though.

I women I impregnated got an abortion and I found out indirectly as she told another woman I was having an affair with while we were all sitting around the same table.

I felt very thankful and still do.

The comedy of OccultHawk

Act 1, Scene 3

OccultHawk and friends are gathered at a table, eating lunch, when suddenly a conversation begins...


OccultHawk: My friends, I must congratulate you. This lunch was prepared most splendidly!

Friend 1: Quite! But it's hardly a surprise. We did, after all, use only the finest of ingredients.

Friend 2: And with my unmatched aptitude in all of the culinary arts, it was simply unimaginable that this meal would end up being anything other than perf...

Mistress 1: I just had an abortion!

All: ?

Friend 2: What? What are you talking about?

OccultHawk: Uh, heh... I think she's had a bit too much to drink tonight. Pay her no mind.

Mistress 2: Shut up OccultHawk. You were saying?

Mistress 1: Yeah, I got an abortion. Just thought everyone should know.

Mistress 3: Wait a minute, what?! Whose baby was it?

Mistress 1: Well... it was OccultHawk's.

Mistresses 2 and 3, together: What?!

OccultHawk: Ladies, ladies... clearly, she's just joking. You both know that i'm a one woman kind of guy.

Mistresses 2 and 3 glare at Occulthawk

OccultHawk: Oh, wait... I mean...

Friends 1 and 2, together: Uh... this is getting awkward. Maybe we should just leave you guys to talk about this?

OccultHawk: What? Nonsense! Stay! This is all just a big misunder...

Mistress 2: I'll hold back his arms!

Mistress 3: I've got his legs!

All Mistresses fall upon Occulthawk

Friends 1 and 2 exeunt, followed by a bear.

End scene.

Except it really happened and it wasn't like that.


It was relaxed and casual.

Like I unfortunately gave her the flu but she got it cleared up with antibiotics.
