But, as you probably already guessed, she didnt agree.
Lets just say, her method involved salvaging certain used items from the trash.

Sure, sure, thats a very sane way of having a baby.
She called it out for what it was deceptive, unethical, and frankly, downright bananas.
But honestly, who can blame him?
Not long after, the OPs phone exploded with Emilys rage.
Accusations flew, and the blame game went into overdrive.
Emily accused her sister of jealousy, insecurity, and meddling.
Words were said, bridges were burned, and the family holiday plans?
Shes been labeled the villain by her family, uninvited fromChristmas, and left wondering if she overstepped.
Reproductive coercion is a term that sounds all official but boils down to something downright creepy.

And whats even worse, theprossay that lying leads tohealthissues, both mental and physical.
I dont know about you, but I think Ill just stick to the truth.
