...only 15 to 25% of women who become pregnant as a result of a rape, decide to terminate the pregnancy.

This is the huge underreported story - that the victims of rape who become pregnant - are more likely to see an abortion as being victimized a 2nd time.

The MSM and the left frame the argument in such a way that abortion in the case of rape or incest is considered a given - when in fact it is when compared to "regular" unplanned pregnancies.

Another little factoid: ~64% of all abortions are coerced in one form or another (e.g. parter threatens to leave, parents threaten abandonment, etc). So much for "choice".

I have shared your thoughts on this, but Spunkets does make some reasoned criticisms of the study presented.

I will say that if these figures are anywhere near reality, it is very damning of the propaganda efforts of those who support the industry of death.

Thanks for your comments.
