I’m not sure that forcing her to give birth, and the knowledge that the child is alive somewhere, is not ‘raping’ her over and over. I think it can do a lot of further damage to someone emotionally and mentally.
And while I realize that the cases I mention are a tiny percentage of abortion scenarios, there are people who don’t believe abortion should be allowable under any circumstances at all. I just don’t agree with that.
I have interviewed 5 different women who have had abortions, and the ALL regretted what they did to the tune of them crying as they told me. I have only interviewed 2 women who have been raped and neither became pregnant. They both still have traumatic episodes and my heart is BROKEN for them. Why would I want them to also carry the guilt of killing the baby for something it had no fault in?
We disagree but I do see where you’re at.
RE: interview—I was able to have long conversations with these ladies after learning of their experiences that they brought up in various social circumstances. I’m not some reporter or statistic guy, just extremely curious as the effects of traumatic experiences on people.
