You don’t think children become pregnant? There are women who have been victims of incest and they were willing only insomuch as they didn’t have much of a choice but it would not legally be considered rape. There are just too many scenarios. As for the PBA, well, that should already be a criminal action IMHO.
Rape and incest are maybe 1% of all pregnancies that end in abortion. What about the other 99% who got pregnant by having willing, unprotected sex? Are they “victims” too?
The unborn child of a rape victim shouldn’t have the right to life because of his father?
Why punish the child for the acts of the father?
This subject brings out the true feminist in me.
I’m convinced that for victims of rape and incest, having to get up in those stirrups is another violation. For one thing, it’s not just like having a heavy period, no matter what anyone says, unless they have a medical abortion very early.
For another, this is her child, too.
Then, talk about pressure to have an abortion:
These women and girls are told all the usual lies, plus they are subjected to the implication that if they don’t want an abortion, they weren’t really raped. Some feel that they are responsible for family or their husband/boyfriend’s shame and powerlessness.
Abortion is just one more way to enforce the double standard, and underline that it’s a woman’s responsibility to “make it go away.”
