Lamashtu
Demon of Miscarriage/Goddess of Abortion
So, Lamashtu was a demon in Mesopotamian mythology, and in fact, virtually a goddess in her own right given her own agency rather than acting at the behest of other gods. She preyed on pregnant women, unborn and newborn children, and drank the blood of men. Even now, pregnancy can result in the death of mother, child, or both, and the further back we go in history, the riskier a proposition pregnancy and even motherhood is. So clearly, Lamashtu was a sort of mythical explanation for miscarriage, death in labor in pregnancy, and crib death.
However … Assyria had actual laws which criminalized abortion and punished causing miscarriage. And just like pregnancy still has very real risk, there have always been women who got pregnant and did not want the child. So, I would bet that if we could go back to Mesopotamia, and asked a wise woman, we’d learn that Lamashtu was, “Invoked,” as a goddess of abortion as much as she was warded against as a demon of miscarriage. And that the men she preyed on preyed upon women

I don’t believe in abortion. That might seem odd to those here that tout its glory. I believe that we should encourage women to have the children so they can be taught to pleasure themselves and us as we pleasure them! Incest on the other hand is beautiful! I’ve only done it with a cousin when we spent the night with each other. From age 4 to about 7 we regularly kissed, licked, sucked and loved each others cocks and balls. It was wonderful! Thinking about getting in touch with him to see if he wants to re ignite our fun!
