Checkmate, Pro-Choicers! • Please help!! For the last month, I’ve had horrible cramping and no period for 6 weeks. I took a pregnancy test, and I am. Here’s the problem: I have a IUD. We went to the doctor, who said that because of how the IUD has shifted, continuing the pregnancy means almost certain uterine rupture and miscarrage (and possibly infertility or even death). I got the IUD so we wouldn’t have children until we were ready, but I don’t want to kill my baby! My husband says abort. What should I do? Thank you!

I’m not a doctor. If your doctor says your life is in danger, and there is no chance of delivering the baby in time, then you shouldn’t feel bad because you were forced to choose between one death or two deaths.

I would also suggest you turn to any family members or your church family for support in this difficult time. Many women have miscarriages, and they can be very supportive.

I hope everything turns out okay for you and your baby, and I’ll be praying for you.
