Ariel Knights Pregnant
Ariel Knights now considers her failed abortion a blessing in disguise. But, at the time she decided to get the procedure last March, it was with good reason: Because of a rare medical condition, the pregnancy was potentially fatal to the 22-year-old Ohio mother.
As she discovered during her first pregnancy a few years earlier, Knights has two uteri with two individual cervices. As she was carrying the new baby in the weaker of the two uteri, Knights was at a greater risk. With a young son and fiance to consider, Knights made the painful decision to terminate her pregnancy during the first trimester.
“It was a decision made because my life was in jeopardy. End of story. Point blank, that’s it,” she told Akron Beacon Journal last month. (She also requested that her face isn’t shown in pictures. The top image is one she tweeted during the pregnancy.)
Knights made a March 2012 appointment with the Akron Women’s Medical Group. The day of the procedure, Knights nervously joined dozens of other women waiting in the lobby. She described the scene as “like a slaughterhouse,” with women packed together awaiting appointments.
When her turn came, Knights was ushered into a small room, positioned over a trash bag and sedated. A short while later, the doctor told her everything went well.
