Question: Did anyone else notice this in breaking dawn!?
When I read this, it made me a little sick!.
Jacob, when realizing Bella chose to keep her baby replied
"How stupid are you vamps!? Hold her down and knock her out with drugs"
"I wanted to," he whispered!. "Carlisle would have!.!.!.!."
What, too noble were they!?
"No!. Not noble!. Her bodyguard complicated things!."
I do not care if he is beautiful, strong, fast, or a gentleman!. If the thought even occured to the father of my baby to hold me down, drug me, and invade my body to murder my child against my will, I would call the police!. Especially if his father was willing to help!. Under no circumstances is this ok, even if the baby is killing her!.

oh yes, i agree in every way shape and form!.

what a -pardon my french- a**hole!!! i mean C'MON!? so, carlisle, jacob, and edward, the 3 people who walk around claiming they "love bella" and edward would die for her and blah blah blah!.

seriosuly!. when i read that part, i wish i had a picture of my face!. i wished badly at that moment that i could hit him!. what a douche!.

i believe, under certain circumstances, that if a baby must be aborted, than do it!. i would and probably never could get and abortion, and i have strong beliefs against it, though i would never judge anyone on the matter!.

as crappy as a character bella was, she managed to do some good!. you are 100% correct - being forced to have her baby killed would have ruined bella!. that pain would be with bella forever!. (but of course, 3 seconds later he'd gaze into her eyes, apologize, beg forgivness, give her a shiny car, and everything would be a-ok!.)

screw the diehard fans!!! they sound stupid defending him on this matter!. "lyke, no way! edwards awesome and hawt! i lurve him! he was only helping bella!" no!. just, no!. bella made it very clear she wanted to have this baby, by all means necessary, even if it meant her death!.

at any rate, that part was just another detail helping to butcher breaking dawn!. the control freak striks again, with his trusty side-kick lassie!. edward and jacob were just rotton in this book!. even though i dislike rosalie, she and bella were the only ones with a sense of good judgement in this book!. (not counting the characters who didnt get involved, like charlie, alice, jasper, emmett!.!.!.ect!.!.!.)

to the people who think he "wouldnt do it", i disagree!. he CLEARLY said he would have knocked her out with drugs and done it!. i can see it now!. "oh bella, my love, my world, carlisle said this would help the precious monster, so have some darling!. thank you!. see you when this is all over! I love you!" she wakes up, no more baby!. again, thank goodness rosalie wanted kids!.

this, however, is only MY opinion!. (watch those thumbs down roll in after my edward comment :P)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I agree with you completely, I mean it's her baby and her body, and if she wants to keep it she should, she knew that the baby would put her health in danger, but she was to selfless to care!. I'm glad Rosalie protected her, although I think it was for all the wrong reasons, she didn't care for Bella, she just wanted a baby and I found that extremely selfish!. I understand that Edward and Jacob were worried for Bella, but they should just trust her judgement, because it all worked out in the end anyway!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

No I didn't find it disturbing only for the fact that the baby was killing Bella from the inside out!. As I read the book I found myself getting mad at Bella for allowing herself to be hurt like that, even if it was her baby!. She had no idea of what the baby was going to be when it came out!. I thought that they were trying to do whatever they could to save Bella!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think if he'd actually had the opportunity it would have been different!.
He's so fixated in Bella and she's his world or some garbage!. I doubt he ever would have done something that she was so against!. She'd never forgive him and I doubt he would have been able to live with that!.
As it stands, there was no way that this ever would have happened so he can say what he likes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They thought it was a half breed monster and it was killing Bella!.!.!.kind of like aliens that plant seed in humans grow and then eat through the stomach killing to be born!. I wasn't angry at Edward and Carlisle for it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

edward and jacob didn't like that the child in bella was killing her, but edward and his had to respect bella's needs too!. i don't find it that sick tho!.!.!.!. sort of thoWww@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I noticed this too, then again, its not the typical pregnancy, and due to the !.!. well!.!. hollywood nature of her writing it doesnt seem as troubling as it should!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Carlisle, Edward, and Jacob are planning to abort the baby!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i donrt know it a tough call!.!.!.!.!.!.I love the books though

I had a hard time digesting this!. Not that I would ever mother a child of my own, but I have certain morals and beliefs about such actions!. I think in part I could understand Edward and Carlisle's reaction, particularly Carlisle because he is a doctor and he is sworn to do no harm!. (Knowing what the baby is doing to Bella, I think he might have been more inclined to save her!.) Edward, too, is more concerned for Bella, who at this time is still Human and still fragile!. Jacob sees this and is more worried about Bella than the baby!.

At the same time, I found the idea a little offensive that they would immediately jump to such drastic measures!. Rosalie had the right idea playing body guard!. I think the easiest way to answer your question is that although I completely understood and could see the logic in their thinking (in the manor of protecting Bella) I didn't necessarily agree with their line of thought!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think that Edward would have gone through with it anyway because he loves Bella and he knew that she would never want this!.!.!.and so he wouldn't have done it!.
But i can see where you are coming from!.
then again!. they thought it was something that should be destroyed as it was clearly a monster at the time!. so in that regard, i think that in the heat of the moment Edward panicked, and thought that he would lose Bella, and this clouded his vision of what was morally right!.
But i don't believe that Meyer ever intended it to be gross or disgusting in the way that you seem to view it!.
but each to their own i spose!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Edward always *tries* to do what he thinks is best for Bella!. When does she listen!? He thought about it, but I doubt he would have really done it!. Considering it isn't what she wants!. As Jacob points out numerous times, Edward always gives Bella what she wants!. Ha ha I actually am re-reading Breaking Dawn right now, and I just read this part today!. It didn't really strike me that way at the time though!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
