Well I'm just speaking from personal experience. I didn't say I knew the child at all, but have you ever been raped at that young an age? I have. From my experiences, there's pro-life idealogy then there's real life and there are many women who take emergency contraception or later get an abortion and don't feel any guilt whatsoever.

Okay. The power of that statement is in your word choices. But "real life" is that a live baby exists. Real life also is that abortions are traumatic in themselves. That I know from trying to make a friend of mine accept hers. She lived with a great deal of guilt. Real life is that there are no good choices for this 9-year-old girl. I get tired of hearing pro-aborts try to claim that abortion is just birth control. It is not.

I could live with legal abortions in the case of rape and incest. It still kills an innocent baby, but I do understand that the mother never had the original choice (unlike the vast majority of abortions). But it is just as tragic as living with a pregnancy that resulted from a rape. The trauma is different, but it's at least as strong. An innocent baby dies. That's real life (or that WAS real life).
