I was pregnant last year after 2 years of trying to conceive and 1 miscarriage. The first trimester was scary, full of anxiety and lot of morning sickness but we made it through. Everyone told me the second trimester is easy breezy but I just wanted the morning sickness to get better. Around week 20 I had a level 2 scan where they found the fetus had some issues that I won't share but basically both the kidneys were already damaged and if by some miracle the fetus survived full term - would be born with sever renal damage requiring a kidney transplant right after being born and a lifetime of dialysis. There was also a very high change of other development issues be like brain, heart and lungs development. After a heart breaking visit to multiple of doctors and receiving the same diagnosis to terminate the pregnancy - we went for it, the fetus was 20-21 weeks at the time.

There was 1 major thing though - I was in India and not the US. India allows abortion to be performed up to 24 weeks.

India was also the first country to legalize Miscarriage leave, so I got 6 weeks paid leave from my employer to recover emotionally and physically. If I was in the US, apart from few of the safe states I would not be allowed the abortion at all. Even with the medical diagnosis. I would have been forced to carry the fetus full term or till it would naturally die inside of me. Even worse they would force me to give birth to a fetus who would have to lead a vegetative life connected to tubes and machines with severe complications, requiring 100s of surgeries from day 1 of their life, with no guarantee of survival. Forget about the medical debt we would go under.
