S/O, do you think Sherri Shepherd is getting what she deserves?

Okay. So Sherri Shepherd has had many abortions in her younger life. Now that she is in her 40's remarried, she is trying to get pregnant and having difficulties. As well as her son, Jeffery, having been born as a super preemie & still having difficulties today as a result.

Do you believe this is Karma? Some of the women in the other post said she shouldn't have sex unless she's ready, most recent said she should have her uterus removed......

hmmm.

I'm pretty certain that Sherri has a bad past and she was in a very abusive relationship at one point. It wouldn't have been fair to her children to put them into that position. 

I do think that having many abortions can put a toll on a woman's uterus (this is just an opinion, I'm not that well-versed on the after-affects) and may cause problems later down the road but that hardly equates to a woman "getting what she deserves."

I think more than anything, it's likely an age issue more than the number of abortions she had (and only she knows that number from what I understand.)  I do believe in Karma, but I can't say that is the reason she is having problems getting pregnant.  And if she had problems having her son that could also be adding to the problems.

No, I don't think she "deserves" her present difficulties nor do I believe in karma.

God will not punish a child because of what the mother did or did not do.

I missed something.  

Her personal choices are her own.  

I cannot be so crass as some woman get off on being.  Whether or not she 'deserves' a child, if her son suffers due to her past choices, is not something I can be confident in agreeing with, or disagreeing with.

I suppose she and her doctor(s) are more prone to the truth of the matter than any one of us will ever be.

Quoting Tanya93:

Oh, but come on now.  Of course He will.  *rolls eyes*

 I think people should be sympathetic to someone who, as we all are, has been trying to figure her life out, and is coming up against a problem that for that person is very heartbreaking.

I don't understand how the people who are supposed to be the most loving and kind are so hardened in spirit that they come across as being most unloving and unkind.

The procedure for an abortion is used for different reasons.

Believe me, I know.

Any procedure a woman has done can cause issues.  Giving birth can cause future issues. Or none at all.

For a woman to state that she knows this woman's issues with conceiving is due to her past abortions is a woman who is ill informed and possibly quite ignorant.

Although it's really hard for me to sympathize with someone who has had multiple abortions, I don't think it's karma or that she deserves to have difficulties getting pregnant.  She made a choice that I don't agree with.  But, it was her choice, not mine. 

 All 3 of my children  were born preemies and I have never had an abortion, so I don't think one can say that is why her son was born early. 

There may be consequences, medically speaking, from getting abortions that could make it difficult for her to get pregnant, but I don't think it's something that is "deserved". It's also likely that her difficulties have no correlation with her previous abortions.
