Today, my coworker tried to justify the overturn of Roe vs Wade by saying she had 3 kids and was able to do it. Yes, she was also married to their father for a few years, and when they divorced, the kids lived with him while she couchsurfed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, via the power of crooked lawyers, it is possible for a husband to dump all three kids on his ex-wife whilst keeping the house for himself and paying no child support. I’m the ex-wife, and my three kids are sharing a blanket on my dad's sofa, with school in the morning. FML
Today, my wife kicked me out because I had a vasectomy behind her back. I'm 45 and we have five kids, three of whom have already left the nest. FML
Today, my ex-wife brought the kids to me angry that she had tried to pick up some guy but the kids ruined it just by being there, so she brought them to my house because she couldn’t be bothered this week. The judge giving her primary custody is a travesty of our legal system. FML
Today, my ex-wife announced that she's taking me to court for child support. Her kids were just my stepkids and we weren't even married a year, but she apparently has a pretty good lawyer on her side. FML
Today, my boyfriend informed me that the mother of his children, from whom he is not divorced yet, is moving back into his house because she broke up with her boyfriend and has nowhere to go. FML
Today, I found out that a few years ago, when I lost my kids to my ex-wife, it was because my current wife secretly hated having to be their stepmom, so she conspired with my ex to ruin the custody hearing in my ex's favour. FML
Today, I found out my ex-wife (who I have kids with) is now pregnant with another guy's twin babies. We have only been divorced a couple of months. FML
Today, I'm preparing to go through my second divorce, all because I don't want kids. Both of them agreed to no kids when we were dating, then changed their minds. FML
Today, after I was with my ex for five years before we split up because she didn’t want to marry, have children, or seemingly grow up at all, now a year later she has married some dude and is two months into their first planned pregnancy. I guess she just didn’t want to marry or have kids with me. FML
Today, my wife was all on board with having kids… until she started obsessively following the Lindsay Clancy case. I just got divorce papers, and when I demanded answers, she said the case made her not want to be a mom and wife anymore. Fuck you, Lindsay Clancy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She's an idiot. Roe v. Wade didn't force women to get abortions -- it just made it a decision they could make for themselves. Sounds like she made the wrong choice, but she had her chance.

OP has a coworker. This coworker thinks the recent overturn of Roe V Wade here in the USA is good, and justified this belief by saying that she had not aborted any of her children and is doing fine. OP notes that the coworker had a lot of help, to the point of being able to have her ex watch her kids for extended periods of time. This is a much different reality than most people who need or want an abortion have.

Ah, yes. Survivorship bias at its finest.

I do not understand this at all and I've read it 3 times.

Toss on her if a 10 YEAR OLD should be forced to carry since she was raped. It is so wrong that this was overturned and I hope someone in our government gets balls and fixes this

There are literally anti-choice politicians who think that a 10-year-old pregnant rape victim should look on this as an "opportunity." An opportunity to do what? Die as a result of her pregnancy? I mean, doesn't the life of the little girl count?

They don’t believe women are people and should be handled just like their slaves. With this, we’ve re-entered the dark ages once again. I just wish the church would stop with their damn crusades. It’s getting a lot of people killed. Maybe they think if abortions aren’t banned, they’ll run out of little Timmy’s glued to their crotch.
