So, a woman who has been brutally violated now must totally change her life for nine months, not to mention the physical challenges and hardships ... we won't even get into family relationships...what if she's married? Other children? What about THEIR lives?
Who ever said life was fair?
I'm with you on this, Hildy. It's mostly men, I suspect, who thinks it's okay for women to carry the result of a rape for 9 months and deal with all the attendant trauma of that. No concern for the already fully formed, living women.
This is where the rubber meets the road. Any president who felt differently would lose my complete support and I applaud the president for his statement.
democrats love this bill...it's much easier to portray us as unthinking, knuckle-dragging zealots with the rape, incest and life of mother provisions wiped out....(I suspect the majority US position on this issue is Abortion should be illegal except for the three horrible instances)
Imagine the ads in suburbia
"The Republican theocracy now will make rape victims suffer through... Under the Taliban-Republicans, young women, molested by a step-father, or gang raped in an alley will now be forced to..."
A great ad in congressional elections..If I were a dem I'd pound this all over swing districts, hit the soccer moms with daughters...scare the holy hell outta them.
It is still wrong to kill the child, no matter what the reasons are or who it troubles.
We all have bad things happen to us, some are worse than others.
