DF Spoilers / Why Didn't Justine Just Abort?
« on: August 03, 2020, 01:10:01 PM »I realize this is skating on very thin touchy topics thin ice here, but it is an important question. If her life is in that much danger from the Hunger, why doesn't Justine abort the pregancy? Why didn't Thomas insist on it to save her life? Or is there something about the embryo Hunger that makes an abortion medically impossible? Or is there something else going on,like a possible power struggle among those in the White Court that depends on a viable pregnancy? Thomas must of talked to Lara about it, is that why she talked to Mab about cashing in on favors owed?
Something weird is going on here. Thomas told Harry in effect that White Court Vamps for all intents and purposes are sterile, or "all but sterile" as he put it. He and Justine still used birth control in spite of that, yet she still got pregnant. The pregnancy threatens Justine's life,big time,but there is no move to end it. Yeah,to end it would be heart breaking for both of them, but would Thomas's heart be less broken if he loses Justine? Are they banking on the fact that because this baby was the result of their true love, the Hunger might just burn itself out? If they are, Thomas didn't say anything to Harry about that hope.
Going a couple of steps back, what if the pregnancy itself was a set up? Has someone pulled supernatural strings to make it possible in the first place, setting off this whole chain of events?
