My mom is so pro-life she believes that having an endometrial ablation just causes mini abortions every time you have sex.
Yes, you read the caption correctly. She believes that life begins the second the sperm and egg unite, and by preventing the blastocyst/embryo from attaching itself to the uterus, an abortion has occurred. If you’re unfamiliar with what an endometrial ablation is, see below. ⬇️
I was shook when I heard her “logic” because it’s entirely nonsensical. I personally have had an abortion but will never share this with my mom because of her extreme views.
An endometrial ablation is a procedure that removed a thin layer of tissue that lines the uterus, and is done primarily to stop or reduce heavy bleeding. This procedure is only done to women who do not plan to have any children in the future, but it is still recommended that you should take birth control.
Essentially, it would be very difficult, but not impossible, for an embryo to attach itself to the lining of the uterus, which could result in a pregnancy.
