I can live with that. And I actually wonder how many women would choose to preserve life if the government stayed out of the control/power issue with it. I think it could be emotionally freeing for her to know that though it wasn’t her choice to be assaulted, it WAS her choice to give life as a free gift, not under compulsion.

I think about cultures where the men totally control the women. Like the girl who was raped by a bunch of guys who forced her to sign a paper and then she found out that it was a marriage contract so she could never even charge them with raping her. And getting the girl pregnant is just another way to make her powerless. I think there are pro-choice people who honestly think that is what the pro-life movement wants to do to women. It’s not. For women whose consent has already been violated, allowing them the choice to consent to nurturing the life and giving them all the reasons why that would be affirming of their own life and why it would NOT be the rapist exerting further control over them... may be a win-win for everybody because she will choose life, given that support.

“I can live with that.”

According to some a-holes that makes you a pro-abort monster.
