This is well plotted and written and I like the topic and appreciate the need for more stories like this. Please continue.

I'm totally reading. I love abortion!! 💖

I have big mad super love for Jarod for doing the right thing.

Keep going. I'm still reading.

The chapters are short and sweet. I love it. Do keep going, Love. Jarod lying that he would kill her before letting her stay pregnant. I feel that right now. That's really how it is when the uterus is invaded, and if it has its own body and isn't a part of me IT CAN GET OUT OF THE UTERUS IT INVADED AND SEE HOW WELL IT GETS ON. Oh, that's right. It can't. Because it isn't autonomous and isn't alive yet because it isn't born. Honestly, I don't even care if it was murder. COps murder. Millitary people murder. countries murder. Israel loves to murder. And abortion is free and legal there. So...  I love this.

Keep it coming. You can storytell and write well.

Oh, snap, this is a necessary story and well written. I like that Jarod is stepping up and making Parker feel more comfortable with a decision that HE KNOWS she wants to make. She can't live any other way.

Her mental health and physical well being are in the shitter. Even if he wanted the embryo to grow to full term, wanted the potential child he would lie for her.

But that's not the lie that the chapter title is referencing. He lied to her when he said he would kill her before letting the Centre take her alive. He can't kill her. I think it's pretty common knowledge that he realized he was in love with her back in TP2001 and Carthis solidified that. Back when he wrote that novel and left her candy he was crushing hard on her. I think he's always been smitten with her.

It's important that there are more abortion stories. Something like 3 of every 5 women or girls we know has had an abortion, but there aren't stories, books, movies enough to represent that number. If you're looking around for 1 of those 3 women I'm 1 of them. The abortion was the best decision I've ever made.

The relationship was shitty, the sperm donor was shitty, the ripped condom was shitty, the world is shitty. I was broke, he was broke. I kept seeing all of those "can't feed em don't breed em" memes and it was like a sign.

I wasn't going to mocked by white trailer trash who met their spouses at famiily reunions. I wasn't going to be ridiculed for being a welfare whore, for using foodstamps or any of that shit.

I had the abortion, got myself out of the shittiness, went back to school, worked two jobs and now I can afford to buy all of the happiness I want. Money DOES buy happiness. Healthcare is happiness. A nice home is happiness. Nice gourment meals = happiness. Theater is happiness. Opera is happiness. Concerts=happiness. Travel is happiness. Living my life on my terms and doing what I want when I want to with whom I want to is happiness.

No diapers= happiness.
No whiny encumbrance= happiness.

Donating to planned parenthood is happiness.

I won't send a dime to anti-choice and pro-gestation states, the real welfare queens.

Show yourself some mercy=Words to live by.

No one else is going to do it for us.

Awesome mate keep going!

That chapter end note like the rest of this story is on point. Jarod better not let her down and kudos to him for paying for the procedure.

Oh, snap!! Yas! I hope he doesn't doublecross or try to talk her into gestation and giving birth. Gawd, it's not like humans are an endangered species or somethink. It's not born it's not breathing it's not alive. Parker is born and breathing and alive and it's her uterus. The US lost its damn mind again regressing while every other country progresses.

Mirage was right to encourage you! So many times I read that Parker's pregnant without her consent and is going to stay pregnant or Jarod talks her into staying pregnant when she doesn't want to be, and I'm glad Jarod has compassion after seeing her this way. I'll never understand how or why anyone would want to force someone else to put their body through pregnancy. Shit. I don't tell people they have to keep their tumors and cysts because it's not my business or my body. Then those same assholes turn around and blame the pregnant person for using drugs during the pregnancy and causing defects or newborn addictions, or dumping a newborn in the trash or loo. Honestly how good a mum do they think a person can be if they're forced to one?!! If someone wants to control what's in my uterus I will cut my uterus out and they can have it and anything growing inside of it. If it's 'god's child' I will give god full custody of the fetus straightaway.

So I love this. I hope Jarod isn't tricking her. If he is tricking her I hope she shoots him in that brain of his and stabs the fetus to regain her autonomy if she has to. No one should have to to stay pregnant or give birth. That's a crime against humanity and violation of autonomy. Thank you for tackling this issue.
